Yes, those colors are accurate. I don't do anything to my photos. I got it from Eddie at Tropical Paradise in San Leandro, CA. This was in one of his display tanks so I feel obligated to take very good care of it.

Let me start by saying common names are generally garbage. But "candy cane" is generally associated with caulastrea [aka trumpet coral]. The most used common name for blasto is pineapple coral. But good luck asking for that at stores.

I have 1 more, Green but it's small and faces away from the front of the tank so I can't photo it.

I have a 35 hex and I'm running 2 65w PC. 1-10k and the other Actinic. They do best, atleast for me, by putting them in a shaded area just out side of the light. The polyps will them extend out into the light.

I know some people have them under MH but I think they need to be in a shaded area where they're not getting any direct light but can reach out to it.

They're very senstive and will pull in if you give them to much light.

I told you I got in a prior post I got it at sea corp. The Blue is completely solid blue . The Orange/Red has a white rim and purple center it didn't come over that well in that picture but you can see it more in the attached picture.

As for Blasto being easy to take care of I don't think that the case. They're very sensitive to light and do close up very easily. Some mayn't open fully for a couple of days.

Hello jdsabin1, what is the actual size of this guy? How big are the polyps? It looks huge or are you using a macro and zooming in quite a ways? Thanks, Freed
