Which type of blasto is this?

I was wondering if this was a wellsi or merletti. This is my first blasto, but I would guess wellsi, but the polyps are so small.
Thanks for any info.

It's a Merletti. Size matters.

They grow fast and dense. Keep it well fed and it will amaze you. They are very beautiful.

Super... Will cyclopseeze do for spot feeding? I don't see them taking mysis at this size. Also the cleaner shrimps would probably take anything of large size.
Thanks,
Kevin

I have the same ones, and they love Mysis. But you're right--chasing away the shrimp can be a pain. Often, I try to distract them with a larger chunk of meat, which usually works.

Spray it with some fine chopped seafood. They take all small sized zooplankton. Quarantine the shrimps because they're never full.
