I am sorry, I believe the Blastomussa is a Wellsi.

the blasto is a merletti, wellsi's are large like the size of a half dollar.

Agreed. Still, very nice corals.

I have been having a debate on this coral for over a year now. It does not ressemble a merletti in its growth pattern. It does not grow out any stalks. However, it does have smaller polyps like a merletti. A guy who imports coral told me it was a hillea but I believe this is now incorrect. I know it is somekind of blastomussa but I am unsure if it is merletti. Its growth ressembles Wellsi much more than merletti. Anyway, a 10 polyp frag of it is up for trade.

It is definitely a merletti. You blue zoos are not tubs. Tubs don't have a red skirt.

The skirts are not red, more of a brownish skirt but anyway they were sold to me as Tub's Blues. Can you post a pic of the Tub's to show me the difference? If these aren't Tub's I am going to be a little PO'ed with the price I paid for them.

They sure look like they have red skirts in the picture. Check the Atlantis site for pics of the Tubs blues.

I have checked Zoaid and Atlantis, they are the same zoas. remember Atlantis uses alot of actinic in their photos. Mine are under 10K XM's with some VHO actinics.

Look the same to me.

Do you see how there are red skirts in your picture? It is very prominent. That is the issue. If you say they don't have red skirts but your picture shows that they do then what are people supposed to believe?

How about we keep this to trading only? If you want an id or to debate the matter, I can move this for you.

If those aren't Tub's, they're as nice or better, so I wouldn't worry too much. What do you want for a trade? Softies, LPS, SPS? I have some very nice LPS that I will be fragging soon that I might like to trade you for a frag of the Tub's and a frag oif the blasto

Here's how my merletti grows(maybe merletti for merletti trade?):

Purple cap is gone. I also traded some of the blue candy canes but still have one small frag left. All others are still available. I can't believe no one has offered a trade on the Cespitularia.
