Odd Blasto question

[Indytraveler83]

I just got a Blasto frag from a big group I bought at an online sale. I thought they were similar to acans/favia, but the frag is one head on a kind of long stalk similar to a Duncan.

Should I allow that long stalk to stick out, with heads growing like that (like a Duncan) or should I place the head closer to rock for it to spread (like an acan).

And can anyone confirm blasto's lighting preference? What I see online is all over the map.

Thanks in advance!

Awesome. That's what I thought. I think I just got a frag from a very big colony or something. Got in a ton of new corals I've never had access to before
