Hi guys, This is more of a question about the possibility, I am not actually wanting or trying to do this but I am curious if it is possible.
I know in nature corals can be colonized by different species zooxanthellae and so the same coral specie can have different color morphs depending on the algae it is hosting.
It is also possible for a coral to bleach and lose its zooxanthellae and then get colonized by a different zooxanthellae specie and possibly change color.
Did any of you ever experienced something like this, meaning a coral changing coral, or a bleached coral getting colonized by a different zooxanthellae?
