Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Blastomussa wellsi are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Blastomussa wellsi, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Blastomussa wellsi, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Wijsman-Best, 1973

Description: Colonies are phaceloid, rarely subplocoid. Corallites are 9-14 millimetres diameter. Septa are not arranged in cycles and are numerous. They have small blunt teeth. Mantles, but not tentacles, are extended during the day and may form a continuous surface obscuring the underlying growth-form.
Color: Mantles are usually dark grey, but may be red or green. Oral discs are usually green but may be red or dark grey.
Habitat: Lower reef slopes protected from wave action, and turbid environments.

Similar Species: Blastomussa merleti. See also the euphyllid Nemenzophyllia turbida and the faviid Montastrea multipunctata, both of which have fleshy mantles.

Die Kolonie vergrößert sich eindeutig langsamer als B. merletti.
Während die ausgebreiteten Polypenlappen der B. merletti nur etwa 1-1,5 cm breit sind, sind die von mir gepflegte B. wellsi bis etwa 5 cm breit.
Wächste auch im extrem (N-Verbindungen praktisch 0,00 mg und P-Verbindungen auch kaum höher) nährstoffarmen Mileu, bei Futtergaben, wie auch bei B. merletti, sehr gut. Mit anderen Grosspolypigen Arten oder gar Anemonen habe ich da schon mehr Schwierigkeiten. Aber auch in Becken mit nährstoffreicheren Mileu hatte ich keine Probleme.
