Grafted Corals

[bkweibley]

I saw a few frags that were labeled as grafted tonight, exactly what does that mean?

if im not mistaken, color pigments from one coral are transfered to another coral of the same genus

Limited Edition Grafted Montipora

^ Yep. The most common way it is done is by accident. Some reefers manage to actually find two of the actual same species and manually do a graft, but that comes down to even more luck IMO.

there was a member in my local club that was using insulin needles to take Zooxanthellae from one coral and inject it into another. im not sure what happened from it but very interesting

there is talk that most of the "rainbow" chalices are made from a type of grafting bassicaly they throw a bunch of chalices into a cove and they naturally share Zooxanthellae

Jason Fox actually had a frag of this on his live sale last night.

He actually had a few, that's what made me wonder
