    I'm really looking forward to seeing if it keeps it's yellow coloration. I have been enthralled with that colony for a while now.. it's really beautiful and unique. The story just makes it better.

    I believe it will as the green protein is most likely integrated into the genome of the zoox and the coral tissue now. Both the usual red and the new GFP are harmonious in the coral skin! This process is so fascinating and I am excited also.

    Was going to comment on this on Facebook when I saw it, but got distracted.

    If we trade down the road again this will be on the list. :)

    Hello

    All the frags that were taken from the yellow side have remained yellow as they have grown out in various systems.The new growth that has occurred where the fragments were removed has also continued with the yellow pigmentation.
    The original branches that extended up into the tabling acropora above, I have left intact as when they touched is when the grafting began.I will have a few frags at the new jersey frag swap nov 3 if any of you guys will be present.I will be at table #18

    Thanks
