Morphing

[reepher315]

Ive read several ways fellow reefers have "morphed" zoas or palys they have. Im very interested in trying this out but seems most of those who actually do morph one say it doesnt produce morphed offspring. How are these gorgeous morphed zoas and palys coming to be??? Has anyone had any success having morphs reproduce?

I have a few that morphed produced a few of the same offspring then switched back. I just placed 3 types close together and let them grow.

That seems like the most logical way. I hear of people injecting one zoa with fluid from another. I dont want to play with toxins tho. I think next frag with have to be 2 species really close together... I feel like those that would switch from light changes will also switch back if the chages arent kept up.

following along as i have read many times of people being able to do this but have not heard the steps they take, also would be nice to see how the offsprings maintained color over time

I had a superman montipora morph from deep purple background with red polyps to bright pink with fluorescent yellow polyps after it fell behind my rock work and it went almost completely white and when I moved everything to the new tank I put it down low in the tank and it recovered and has been growing since
