montepora · 10/16/2009, 12:53 PM

Here are my blastos. One is orange with green strips and the other one is green rim with orange center and the last one is purple rim with green center~

noirsphynx · 10/16/2009, 10:48 PM

Never seem to see anything outstanding around here but these are mine.

Korrine · 10/16/2009, 11:46 PM

wow!! I LIKE

Makes me want to hurry up and talk my hubby into getting my halide up so i can kick my PC's outta here and then get some nicer corals!!

nayrgaijin · 10/17/2009, 09:35 PM

PC's would be enough for blastos ! If you place them too high under Halides, well let's just say they aren't that forgiving :/

i-b-reef-n · 10/17/2009, 10:07 PM

What about current - do they like movement or calmer waters?

gobygoddess · 10/18/2009, 01:24 AM

Here are mine...

These are mini blastos

dan10342 · 10/18/2009, 01:38 AM

shandy_say · 10/20/2009, 04:41 AM

90sShooter · 10/20/2009, 12:38 PM

shandy_say · 10/20/2009, 08:57 PM

Just some new Blasto Merlettis I got the other day. Red ring with neon green centers... Still on the look out for other colors...

shandy_say · 11/05/2009, 04:54 AM

Another blasto i recently acquired...

steelcity · 11/05/2009, 11:37 AM

What type of flow do you guys have these in? Also what are you feeding them? I picked up a small 5 head frag back in Feb. They were in my 16 and were always out and puffy. Now they are in my 55 and have at least 12 heads now but they are not as puffy as before. Always seemed to be somewhat closed up. They are in the middle of the tank under T5s. Heres some pics to show them

steelcity · 11/05/2009, 11:38 AM

I have very small babies on there but the base never grows.

shandy_say · 11/05/2009, 09:03 PM

they don't like a lot of flow. low flow areas would be ideal.

mickey204 · 11/06/2009, 01:25 PM

Heres mine, whenever I see more at the LFS I'm going to buy them up.

I have to get better at capturing the full colors, its a nuclear green the pics dont do them justice at all

the intensity is so brilliant, I swapped my old t12 actinics to t5Ho's for supplementing the 250W/14k's

Fantastic blasto's guys, I saw a few in the thread I wish I had haha.

oop's almost forgot the pic

woofu · 11/06/2009, 04:58 PM
