looking at blastos how are they do they over take a tank what are good colors to get they look like about the 50 dollar range is this about right.

hammer coral

anything else you guys like looking for things that wont overtake a 12 gallon.

I have trumpet ,zoas, a ric and a shroom.
 
blastos are one of my favorites and they definatly dont takeover a tank. Get which ever colors you like.
what do you have for lighting? Do you have one of the all-in-one setups like the nano or biocube or the aquapod?
a hammer is also a good choice.
 
I have a hammer, when its fully open it is maybe 4" across (2 heads). Its very pretty. Blastos are pretty slow growing, for me at least. I bought a small frag with about 3 small polyps on it for $20 about 4 months ago. It now has about 7-8 polyps, so its basically covering the little plug it came on but hasn't spread off the rocks yet. $50 may or may not be a good deal depending on the size of the frag.
 
One thing I can tell you, is they don't like too much light.
