Fire Orchid Blastomussa

1.5" in diameter, WYSIWYG and fully conditioned to life in a reef aquarium!

Keep Blastomussa in low flow and at or near the bottom of your reef. Blastomussa in general are pretty similar to Aussie Lords as they prefer minimal lighting at around 150 par and low to medium-low alternating flow. I would also recommend target feeding a very small amount once a week with a good quality meaty frozen food. Just keep in mind that Blastos are more difficult to target feed as they really don't have effective feeding tentacles, so you'll have to have a bit more patience as they take a bit longer for the mouth to grab the food. Just be forewarned that you'll have to protect the Blasto from thieves (hermit crabs, Nassarius snails, etc) until the Blasto is able to suck the food down. It's kinda painstaking, but fascinating and fulfilling at the same time.

Lighting = Low Light at around 100 to 150 par
Flow = Low to Medium Alternating Flow
Feeding = Good Quality Frozen LPS Food 1x / weekly
