Zoo color crosses?

[smontanus]

Not to show my biology ignorance too much here...but does anyone know if its possible to cross zoo colors thru manipulation during proping or some other technique. I've actually tried searching this quite a bit so I figure its not possible, or only thru sexual reproduction...so not really possible in captive colonies. I have heard of grafting other types of corals...anyone?

I don't really know. Seeing as how they reproduce mostly by budding/fission etc, I really can't see how one would cross two different color patterns with each other.

Thats what I thought too. It was more curiosity than anything. I'm sure it could be done thru gene manipulation, but way outta my area of knowledge.
