    I came across a site that listed blasto as a 'fairly rare coral', this seems incredible to me considering my month old colony has produced to new colonies!

    What constitutes "rare" (besides Ebay seller's titles) in corals?
    Here is a link to that site:

    How can these be rare when they reproduce so easily?:-/

    I dont think its a rare coral, that seller just used that word to sell it faster and more expensive. Luna

    Yeah, but that link isn't for a seller, that's what doesn't make sense.

    They actually are fairly rare. Considering theres only two known species in their genus, and that they are a more sensitive coral. Ive read that also.
