My slowly growing Blasto collection

I want Blue/purple blastos really bad. I've been on the look out for them at the LFS's but haven't been able to get any. Looking great!
 
Here are the last 2 in the shipment, the red ones are still settling in.

Cool collection man!! Great looking blastos! Will at aquasd just got in a few nice morphs just in case u wanted to expand on the collection.

:-)
 
Got 5 more morphs today. 4 wellsi 1 merletti. Here are just some pictures. Have to wait for them all to open up as I got them today and they are still getting acclimated. I think so far I am at 33 different color morphs.


Cool Merlettis with a teal center, neon green outsides, and then purple skirts.

Here is a better picture of 2 of the blastos I got. Hard to get a good picture. The orange with yellow ring isnt doing so hot since being shipped. The big polyp in the center isnt going to make it but hoping for the other 4.

Here are some updated closeups of a few that are closer to the glass.

Same colony but with a flashlight so you can see the color differences.

Very nice!
 
One of my blastos seems to be changing colors slowly.


When I got these blastos they were just a purply/blue. Then after a while of settling in they developed green on the bumps of the skirts and some green going towards the center.

I just looked closely the other day and I realized that the green streaks going to the center were now turning more towards orange.
