Just checked, nothing. I'm not specifically feeding them at all, they just get fed when I feed the rest of the tank, pappone couple of times a week.

Maybe try something a bit more meaty.Once they smell food you will get a good feeding response from this coral and it supprising the size of food they can take.Will try and get a pic next time.

Nope, still just 19 heads, tho I think one looks like it is starting to divide. Other than that they look plump and healthy, the blastos that is :D

Just fed my blastomussa coral tonight, and the best way i've found to see if there are any new heads sprouting,is when they close up look closely at the base of the heads and you should see new heads sprouting.
i counted at least 30 heads altogether on my frag i got a couple of frag nights ago.
Looks like its doing very well indeed!
Will post a picci soon.
