Transform your reef aquarium with the mesmerizing colors of the UC Black Hole Sun Blasto Colony! Known for their exceptionally plump, fleshy polyps and striking color contrasts, Blastomussa corals (Blastomussa wellsi / merleti) make stunning centerpieces for any LPS or mixed reef tank.

This vibrant colony features deep, dark tones contrasting brilliantly against fiery, glowing centers—creating an otherworldly appearance that commands attention in any display. Every colony is healthy, well-established, and aquacultured to thrive under aquarium lighting.

Key Highlights & Features:

• Stunning Coloration: High-contrast rims and glowing centers create a unique "Black Hole Sun" aesthetic.

• Plump, Healthy Polyps: Dense, fleshy heads that expand beautifully to fill out your rockwork.

• WYSIWYG / Authentic: Premium collector-grade specimen sourced directly from UltimateCorals.

Care Guidelines:

• Lighting: Low to Moderate (50 – 100 PAR) — keep out of intense, direct light to prevent bleaching.

• Water Flow: Low to Gentle (Avoid strong, direct flow to let the polyps expand fully).

• Placement: Bottom of the tank or lower rock ledges.

• Temperament: Peaceful (Safe around other tank mates; keep clear of aggressive sweeping corals).

• Diet/Feeding: Photosynthetic, but greatly benefits from regular target feeding with mysis shrimp, cyclop-eeze, or fine reef foods to maximize growth and coloration.
