WWC Supermen Merletti Blastomussa Coral
Species: Blastomussa merleti
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Blastomussa
WWC Supermen Merletti Blastomussa is a vibrant large polyp stony coral prized for its colorful, fleshy polyps and eye-catching contrast. Each polyp develops rich coloration with contrasting centers and outer tissue that becomes especially vivid under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting. As the colony matures, individual polyps form a dense cluster across the skeleton, creating a colorful and textured display that adds depth and character to the reef aquarium.
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Blastomussa
Lighting: Low to Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 50–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement allows the fleshy polyps to expand fully while helping prevent debris from settling
Food Requirements: Photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; supplemental feeding of small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods can support growth and overall health
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally not highly aggressive, but adequate spacing should be provided as individual polyps expand and the colony develops
Placement: Best placed on lower to mid-level rockwork where it can receive gentle lighting and indirect flow. Avoid strong, direct water movement that may prevent the fleshy polyps from fully extending.
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of cross-contamination between systems, meaning all of our livestock are carefully quarantined and prepared for your display tank.
