🧬 Overview
The Deadpool Blastomussa is a collector-grade colour morph prized for its rare black rim expression combined with high-voltage orange flesh. This is not standard orange Blasto — the black lashes give it a brutal, graphic look that stands out immediately even in dense LPS gardens.
Its thick, inflated polyps, clean colour separation and slow, pulsing movement make it perfect as a high-impact accent piece.
Each specimen is selected for:
-
True nuclear orange base colour
-
Clearly defined jet-black lashes/rims
-
Thick, fleshy polyp structure
-
Full extension and clean mouths
-
Proven stability and acclimation in reef conditions
A premium option for reefers who want bold contrast, rarity and attitude in their LPS collection.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Blastomussa respond very well to direct feeding and will increase in size and intensity with regular nutrition.
Feed 1–2× weekly with:
-
Mysis, chopped shrimp, krill
-
LPS pellets
-
Meaty frozen blends
Target feed after lights out for strongest feeding response.
