Exactly. They also make up names for normal frags, and then charge 3x what most venders charge.
I’ve always wanted a blasto, they just look so cool. Do you have one?
I’ve got just one right now, but just ordered three more (aquasd had a bunch on clearance - also got this really cool looking Duncan and two different alveoporas). Blastos have always been one of my favorites, they come in tons of colors (though they can get expensive for some of the more uncommon colors), are one of the hardiest LPS, and are just so distinct, there really aren’t any other corals like them (you won’t mistake them for something else). If you look around you can find some really pretty Welsis for less than $20 a frag (usually a few heads) and Merlettis are even less expensive. You should definitely get some!
Pretty much all vendors do this now.
I’ve got some blastomussa merletti, they stay on the smaller side of things but grow quickly, already got two new heads in three weeks! They’re cool corals; blastomussa merletti will probably be much cheaper and easier to find, I’d guess.
I love the green in those !
Thank you! The green is bleeding over into the red fringes over time, I've been really impressed with how the polyps have coloured up. It's such a bright neon green, too! Some of the colours organisms naturally can display in this hobby absolutely amaze me.
I was saying the same thing about zoas in another thread crazy how they can be bland and brown then turn into this nice pink/orange color
Some healthy looking coral right there! What are those zoas?
Beautiful!
