Fathead Black Hole Blasto

About this coral

ASD Fathead Black Hole Blasto is a named Blasto coral offered for reef aquariums. “Blasto” is a common name for Blastomussa corals, a group of large-polyp stony (LPS) corals; the shop name does not by itself establish a precise species or particular color traits. Blastos are valued as individual coral additions to reef displays. The care notes below are general guidance for the coral group, not verified requirements for this specific named variety.

Features:

• A fleshy-polyp LPS coral; provide stable reef conditions and allow room around it rather than treating it like an encrusting or branching coral.
• Generally suited to low-to-moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually when introducing it to a different light level, and avoid assuming this named variety has a documented light preference.
• Use gentle, indirect water movement so the coral receives circulation without being subjected to a strong, direct current.
• Blastos can benefit from occasional small meaty foods, though feeding is supplementary and should not leave uneaten food accumulating around the coral.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Blastomussa (Blasto), an LPS coral; exact species and named-morph traits are not confirmed.
• General care level: Often considered manageable for reef keepers; stable water conditions and appropriate placement remain important.
• General placement: A lower-light area with gentle, indirect flow is a reasonable starting point; adjust to the coral’s response.
• Diet: Photosynthetic; may also accept small meaty aquarium foods. Target feeding is optional.
• Light and flow: General group guidance: low-to-moderate light and gentle circulation. No variety-specific settings are verified.
