Hi All

I am close to buying a Frag of crayola meltdown chalice but only has three colors and looks nothing like the mother colony does. I mean it’s definitely cut from it but the mother colony has 10 colors. My question is will the Frag eventually grow out and develop those colors? Has anyone experienced this? If so any tips?

Thanks

The colours of coral are in the genetics, you’ll find if you buy a frag with more of one colour and less of another they grow out and gain almost an equal amount of colour, the crayola meltdown is the same in which they are fragged with few colours then as they grow they gain all the colours the original colony had IME.
