I recently purchased 2 Blastos from a reputable online source. After a few delivery issues I finally got my corals on Saturday with a bonus frag for my troubles, but the bonus frag was a Favia which added to my frustration because I do not want Favia in my tank, but that's another story for another time. My problem is that one of the Blasto's was nothing like the picture, (and it was a WYSIWYG coral) but it is a more expensive Blasto so I was okay with it. After dipping and placing it in my QT tank I noticed that it looked half dead. I figured I would give it some time to fully come out, but it has been two days and it is still not looking too good. So I decided to take some pictures to get a better look and I realized that the skeleton does not look like any Blasto I have. So I figured I would ask the experts...
Is this even a Blasto or is it something else???
If it is not a even a Blasto I will write a horrible review about this place and call it a day, but if it is a Blasto I think I will try and nurse it back to health and just never purchase anything from this place again.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Edit: I figured that I would add that the way more expensive Blasto that I purchased did arrive very healthy and is looking great, so it was not a complete loss, but it is still disappointing because the only cool looking Blasto's I can find are online and this has shaken my experience with ordering coral online.
