Fire and Ice Blastomussa Merletti, WYSIWYG Coral
1st few photos are of the WYSIWYG coral on a standard 3/4" Alternative Reef frag plug. The last photo is an example of a grown-out piece.
A simply gorgeous variant of Blastomussa Merletti from the fine folks over at Cherry Corals! CC Fire and Ice Blastomussa Merletti gets its name from the fiery red skirts surrounding its icy blue center. This piece is a showstopper and looks lovely among the rest of our Blastomussa Merletti variants in the farm.
