The Purple and Green Blastomussa Wellsi (Per Polyp) is an exceptional, highly coveted addition to low-light marine reef systems, blending high-impact aesthetics with essential utility. Featuring an exquisite, show-stopping color profile, this distinctive Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral showcases oversized, pillowy polyps with a deep, rich royal purple-to-maroon outer skirt surrounding a glowing, metallic neon-green center. It is a master of the "understory reef" era of coral keeping—serving as a natural biological focal point for the lower levels of the aquarium. It is a dedicated, slow-growing colonial coral, making it a functional cornerstone of a mature, low-energy marine ecosystem.
This exceptionally hardy LPS coral thrives in established reef systems with stable water parameters, low-to-moderate indirect water flow, and subdued lighting. Unlike more aggressive stony corals, they lack long sweeper tentacles, making them incredibly peaceful neighbors that can be safely placed near other non-aggressive species. To ensure long-term health, support steady tissue growth, and maintain their vivid neon color saturation, provide a consistent routine of weekly target feedings with fine, meaty preparations like microplankton, baby brine shrimp, or specialized LPS pellets.
Note: Images shown are stock images and not the actual coral you will receive. Due to natural variations in growth, individual frags will exhibit unique patterns, polyp counts, and color distributions.
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Temperament: Peaceful
Lighting: Low (50 to 100 PAR)
Water Flow: Low, indirect
Placement: Bottom to Sand Bed
Water Conditions: 72 to 78°F, dKH 8 to 12, pH 8.1 to 8.4, Salinity 1.020 to 1.025, Calcium 400 to 450 ppm
The Purple and Green Blastomussa Wellsi is a strategic choice for reef hobbyists looking for "dramatic pillowy texture" and a striking pop of high-contrast fluorescent color in shaded zones. Their large, fleshy polyps expand beautifully during the day, adding a layer of soft, organic movement to the lower reef structures that contrasts sharply with rigid SPS skeletons. In the context of modern reef keeping, they are widely considered the ultimate "low-light savior" for adding high-visibility interest to overhangs and bottom corners without requiring intense, high-par lighting setups. For maximum success, secure their plug or rock base firmly on the sand bed or lower rockwork to prevent shifting, and keep water currents gentle enough to allow the polyps to fully inflate without tissue tearing.
We’ve dialed in the logistics for national Overnight Delivery to ensure your premium coral frags arrive in peak condition. Every order is packed using professional-grade insulation and climate-contingent heat or ice packs, designed to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey. We handle the technical side of the move so you can focus on the acclimation. Our protocol is built on getting these delicate, fleshy corals from our facility to your reef with zero compromise on health or vitality.
