Yes I love the Blastos or most all LPS for that matter! These are easy to moderate to care for and you should place it on the rock work just as you did. Give them a moderate light, as strong light will prevent the polyps from opening fully and cause it to recede. If you utilize Metal Halide then it will need to be shaded and / or placed verticle on the rock work. Water flow should be moderate and turbid. Strong water movement will also cause the polyps to close and will make it impossible to feed. Like other members of the Mussidae family, the polyps' tentacles come out at night or when trained to feed. They do benefit from weekly hand feeding of Mysis or other frozen food cut up in small pieces, as would that Duncan I saw in the picture.

Looks like a standard green birdsnest to me.... Those look exact to what I have I'm curious as to what they really are.
