For the Red Blasto, they are entirely colored red. This are the water parameters for cultivating Red Blasto:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 -10
- Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
- pH: 8.1 - 8.4
Red Blasto Diet & Nutrition
The primary nourishment of the Red Blasto is provided by the symbiotic zooxanthllae living within its tissues. But on top of this, we recommend you still do supplemental feeding by adding mysis or brine shrimp.
Fragging / Propagating Red Blasto

Red Blasto Origin
The Red Blasto can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, particularly in Japan, Malaysia, Polynesia and Australia.

How to Acclimate Red Blasto
Red Blasto are a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
