Purple & Green Blastomussa merletti

This Purple and Green Blastomussa merletti grows in a golf ball style with a ball of heads branching out, showing off their beautiful bright green mouths surrounded by what looks like a garden of shades of purple in the flesh of the polyps.

There's two species of Blastomussa known currently. The Merletti and Wellsi, the main differences between the two species is that Wellsi tend to have much larger and fleshier polyps, than the small polyp'd Merletti.

Blastomussa's like stability in their environments, so will benefit from the stable levels of Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium along with various other trace elements found within the oceans.

They don't require direct feeding, though will take it happily if offered.
