I do know you can take zooxanthellea from a healthy host coral or anemone and feed it to a bleached coral or anemone of the same species to help inoculate and repopulate the zooxanthellea in the bleached specimen. It's a trick us anemone keepers regularly use. You just feed the bleached nem a small tentacle piece from the host nem and nature does the rest. Quite remarkable. zooxanthellea is typically brown in color though and isn't responsible for the color of coral so don't expect and zooxanthellea transfer to change the color in your brain coral. I do think it's reasonable to think that fluorescent protein from the mushroom could alter the color of your brain coral but it's probably a long shot. Basically like gfp transfer in sps which we refer to grafting.
What I like about your technique with the bands is we use to use this very method on soft corals, especially mushrooms with great success. Been watching this and am curious the result as this could be an easy low stress fragging technique for stonies with a thicker skeleton.
