Scientific name: Blastomussa

Blastomussa is a genus of stony corals popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their colorful and fleshy polyps. They are LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals that come in a variety of colors, often with contrasting centers, giving them a striking appearance. Blastomussa species are generally hardy and can tolerate a range of lighting conditions, though they prefer moderate lighting and water flow. They are also known for being relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. These corals benefit from supplemental feeding of microplankton or finely minced seafood.
