WWC OG Rainbow Blastomussa
A variant of Blastomussa (Blastomussa wellsi)
Representative Blastomussaphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The defining rainbow blasto. Polyps start out bright red/orange and develop yellow-green streaks radiating across the disc, leaving a vivid magenta center around each mouth. Widely considered one of the most sought-after blastos of all time. Fresh frags often do not show full rainbow color at first and color up as they grow.
📜 Backstory
Sold by Worldwide Corals (WWC) on worldwidecorals.com as a fully aquacultured WYSIWYG line, and one of the first rainbow *Blastomussa wellsi* to be successfully cultured in the hobby. WWC typically releases it only about once a year, and fragged pieces circulate through vendors such as AquaSD, Cali Kid Corals and Aqua-Vault. The exact wild colony it traces back to is not publicly documented (origin debated).
Keeper tips for this variant
Place low in the tank on the sandbed or lower rockwork under modest light (roughly 100-150 PAR) with gentle, indirect flow so the fleshy polyps inflate fully. An easy LPS; spot-feed meaty foods occasionally to support color and growth.
