Not sure if this helps...is your water really clean? The reason I ask is that I've read blastos also come from turbid waters, so they tend to like things on the dirty side. I've also heard from people who tried keeping blastos in their clean water sps systems, blastos never last very long for them.

Also any chance your hermit crabs or some other critter like a fish may be picking on the blasto's mantle? When ever I see damaged tissue on a blasto I do a quick lugols dip to try and stave off infection and hope for the best.

Usually I find my blastos do this if they are under fed or getting hit with too much flow. Try feeding them Acan+. They love it and they thrive on it.

JMes here on the forum makes it. I got mine from him. I'm not sure who oin the lower mainland carries it but a bunch of the stores in Alberta carry it. Send JMes a PM and see if he can help you out.
