want to try to get my zoas to morph

[skimmerman100]

i just glued a green bay packer polyp onto my blue hornet mini colony. i want to have a morph to see what i get. any pointers on how i can get them to morph quickly? i did make a fesh cut where the 2 polyps meet to they merge together. any condition i need to get them to morph? heres the pic

first there is no pic, second i dont think thats how morphs happen

 

[emmanuel]

blast it with a lot of light there will be some kind of change over time

Yeah you'll only get morphs as you develop a colony and they most likely won't be that dramatic.

I believe one of the members here took a nuclear green and a purple death, split them in half and then glued them together. Maybe they can chime in, but that was an interesting morph. do a search I'm sure you'll find it. be careful by the way thats a lot of surgery.

not really looking to kill anything. i did that research and he cut the bases of each and glued them wth the opened cut fleshes together, which it what i did. and they merged together and created the morph he has.

lol yes thats true they will bleach.i read a great write up on the effects of different lights on the same zoas and different morphs.i will look for it.

I wonder if I can morph them under 265wat 6 t5 ho bulbs hmmmmm I have a intresting task to try

 

[skimmerman100]

do it. thats what im doing

 

[anthony27]

awsom we should talk about how and what we find lol awsom

 

[skimmerman100]

they are growing new polyps but oposite each other, not where i merged them. i am waiting for where i merged them to grow a polyp. i am so impatient.

 

[anthony27]

lol i agree i am trying as well with different lights on

how di u make out?? any updades on morphing zoas?

 

[SevTT]

These aren't morphs, they're chimeras -- two different organisms that've grown together. Morphs are when one individual, placed in another environment, changes appearance. Morphs will 'breed true'; chimeras won't, unless they bud off and include tissue from both original individuals, in which case some of the coloration may be maintained, or radically altered. It's like marbling in a pound cake.

 

[motortrendz]

man your full of info.. lol, so i guess im asking .. does it work? have u seen any nice chimeras?
