LC Evil Eye Blastomussa Merletti 2p, 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 or the colony it originated from.
Purple skirts on a Blastomussa Merletti? Now that's something you don't see every day. This Blastomussa Merletti also has an icy blue ring and yellowish mouth color that adds a pop of contrast.
Blastomussa Merlettis stay relatively small compared to their Wellsi cousins, but their growth rate is much better. This is a great choice for nano-reefs or if you're looking to fill in a space in your reef.

Legendary Corals
Care Level
Intermediate level coral. Best tried after you've had success with a few other easier corals first and have an understanding of basic reef chemistry such as keeping salinity, alkalinity, calicium, and magnesium levels consistent. The coral itself is easy to care for if you test for these parameters for your reef.

A moderate grower! Increased growth with feeding such as Benepets.
