I noticed about a week ago my blasto had some white marks on it. I thought they would go away but they seem to be sticking around. Wondering what you guys think it would be? It's popping out a lot of new heads and they all seem to be doing great! Thanks and happy reefing!

Thank you! One of my favorite pieces! And yes, the picture makes the spots look blue. Here are the spots I was referring to.

Ok.

I had the same blastos. When they we’re given to me, I placed them near the bottom.

They immediately sprouted 2 more heads. The prior owner couldn’t believe it as they never grew that fast for him.

We think the big difference was my lights were better spectrum wise.

I lost them due to an alk spike that was my fault.

I personally think they are adapting to your tank and lighting.

and these are insane! hoping mine look like that in the next couple years! any secrets??
Yours do look that good, it's all in the camera saturation. I agree with @mta_morrow they are adapting. You'll have an amazing colony in no time, they look healthy.

That may be the skeleton undernieght just close to the skin, in a way making it look like it's just some white patches!
Yeah that's what it looks like to me! Just don't know why it's showing like that all of a suddeno_O

Your fine =). Sometimes the flow will push the skin a little closer to the skeleton. Usually see this with my blastos myself during the late day when they're fully open
