BelowH2O Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Lately there has been an abundance of crazy blastos on this site. Post them here so everyone can see what you got! Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Heres my two wellsi's and a merletti... Close-up of the red wellsi... Merletti when I first got it. Has tripled in size in about three months. Link to comment
reef hugger Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Here is one of mine. Need to take some more pics of the others. My fav, green with blue ring, under PFO 13K MH Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 that is insane. good score! Link to comment
zooyork0710 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 wow those are nice. i hope to have a few of my own soon. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The only surviving frag of blasto wellsi I have. I bought 3 blasto colonies from one LFS, and 2 out of the 3 died. this guy is a survivor! And may the rainbow blasto wellsi R.I.P. :*( I've been hesitant to buy any blastos ever since. Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Nice pics TB, that rainbow is sweet. I made a rule never to buy a closed up blasto. Although mine never were fully open at the store, they never showed skeleton or signs of recession. I also feed them more than any other coral in my tank. Is the small wellsi frag you got from me still kicking it? Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Glad to hear that! Now for a better shot of the burgundy/green ring wellsi. This coral is probably my favorite in the tank with actinics on. Has a frosted green appearance, very x-files. Now I need to learn how to take actinic pics. Link to comment

apex003 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 WOW! I have something the all-possessing Tigahboy doesn't?!?! Now I feel really special... You'll definitely be at the top of the list, Tigah. You have too many goodies to NOT trade with. HAHA!!! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 cool. but there's tons more that I'm still lookin for, so def not "all-possessing." Link to comment
apex003 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 what IS the growth rate on blasto wellsi? anyone have a time series of pic? this thing eats like mad, so i'm hoping i can get it to grow out faster. tigah- you listen to hiero? have you heard deltron 3030? it's one of my favorites... ya gotta change to "tha funkee" though. =P haha! (sorry this is off topic...) Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 yes I listen to both. I can't bite Del's steez completely now, can i? haha. blasto wellsi are slow growers unfortunately. I wish they grew like acan, but they don't have that kinda growth rate. the merlettis seem to grow a lot faster tho. Link to comment
HideMe Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 OK, BelowH2O, what do you feed them to keep them so darn happy? I got my first one last week (a red merleti) and I want mine to grow up happy and healthy just like yours! Link to comment

reef hugger Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Apex- put me 2nd on that list for the yellow center blasto. I saw those but didn't have the money at the time. Link to comment
apex003 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Sure joshnemily... maybe I'll be like reeffarmers and start my waitlisting through 2025. you and tigah are jan and feb 2008. Congrats!!! HAHA... It better grow out for the price I paid for just 2 polyps. Wish I had gotten the big colony that aquadesignz sold and not from farm-of-thesea. [cough] Chop Shop! [/cough] Excuse me...
