    Went to petco today and don't usually buy from them but saw a nicely colored under their lighting a rbta. And they had a blasto frag listed for 36.99 of coarse they didn't know what it was so I got it for 50% off for 1 polyp which still seemed high. But we will see I will post pics when it opens. It is red with green center any advice on blasto care would be helpful.

    Congrats, they like to be mounted more vertically than horizontally. Try to feed it daily for a week or so to get it healthy again.

    It is on a frag plug and I have it wedged in a hole pretty good about halfway up on rocks. Flow can't really tell yet not open.

    It does look better than it did at petco already though I personally thought it was ugly at first but once it was placd and opened a little its actually pretty cool looking
