Does anyone have experience with Chimera Acans? What happens when Chimera acans grow out to bevome a colony? Would each polyp have two colours?

If they are true chimera and not just grafted then I’d image they will display the mix of different colors in different ratios most likely
 
I know this is not helpful but that makes me want to try one of those acans, haha
 
The ones labeled as "chimera" in that image look like they were chopped up and glued like that, not actual spawned and settled. You can see the boundaries between the halves are not "perfect", whereas in a natural chimera they would form a "perfect" single polyp (I think).
 
Every Acans I’ve owned ended up red, orange or green in a year or two.

Even my master Acan never completely stayed and as vibrant.
