LC Optimus Prime 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 or the colony it originated from.
LC Optimus Prime Blastomussa Merlettis have deeper and more "matte" red and darker blue centers compared to Blue Ravens. It sports a lovely green mouth and makes an outstanding addition to any reef tank, especially in nano reefs where tank space is limited. One of the more slower growing Blastomussa Merlettis in our collection, so frags are always limited in stock.
