UC Hyperion Sun Blasto Colony

Radiate brilliance in your reef with the UC Hyperion Sun Blastomussa Colony. Named after the titan of heavenly light, this spectacular LPS colony features an explosive, glowing color palette of radiant yellows, fiery oranges, and deep contrasting borders. With its clusters of plush, fleshy polyps, this established colony instantly draws the eye and adds a breathtaking splash of solar color to the lower regions of your aquascape. It is an absolute showstopper under both daylight and heavy actinic blue lighting.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Low to Medium. Blastomussa corals thrive in lower light conditions, which allows their fleshy polyps to fully inflate and display their richest colors. Direct, intense lighting can cause the tissue to recede or bleach.

• Water Flow: Low to Medium. A gentle, indirect current is ideal. Avoid strong, direct flow, which will prevent the polyps from opening and can cause the sharp underlying skeleton to damage the delicate tissue.

• Placement: The sand bed or the lower third of your rockwork is highly recommended. They also do exceptionally well in slightly shaded overhangs.

• Feeding: While photosynthetic, Blastos grow significantly faster and maintain better health when target fed. Offer small, meaty foods such as Mysis shrimp, Calanus, or high-quality LPS coral pellets 1-2 times a week when their feeding tentacles are visible.
