What fish do you have in there that may be snacking on the blastos? Also, blastos like low light and may do better with some light feeding.

The first time I put blasto's in my tank I thought they'd be fine just down at the bottom of my tank. I'm running 250W MH but my tank is 24" deep and the lights are 10" above the water, so I thought they'd be fine. They pretty much melted away in days. After doing some reading up, I tucked them totally under a rock shelf where they didn't get hit by any direct light all and they've totally recovered.
Definitely a low light coral, at least at first until they get totally acclimated to your specific light.
