Grafted Corals

This is a bit latter down the line the 2 spots became one and the one is now part of the coral.

Another view when the coral was in a different spot .No the mille is not touching it .

You can still see the bleeding of pigment

What the top end looks like

Another view

Frag from main colony Notice the green . This was taken from the side of the main coral

I found this coral in the greenhouse on friday, the crazy coloration looks a bit like the "grafted simplex" photos. This seems to be only a temporary condition though. In the last 5 years I have found a couple pieces of this coral that have turned solid green but they have always been small (around 1") and they have always turned back to blue/purple in time.

Now im wondering if I graft my cream and purple granulosa if they will do something like that.... hmmmm

The only thing close.

The coral in the photos that I posted made this color change on its own. It has to be some kind of temporary aberration since its only one piece out of so many.

Awesome. I would guess that you would probably see this alot more on a real reef where there are large coral colonies. Cool pics guys.

i have a purple prostrata that a teal formosa grew into... the edges of the prostrata coralites started turning teal... oddly enough, on the far opposite side of where the two corals began to touch

i have since seperated them for tank remodeling and the prostrata is back to all purple

Okay you guys are really confusing me...

Whenever I think of grafting I think of skin grafting...so are these corals grafted onto each other or is there something else more sinister going on?? :lmao:
