What do you think? Does anyone have any experience with a grafted stylophora? Less than a year ago, I noticed my Tyree Hot Pink Stylo colony growing into my neon green stylo colony. I broke the piece off and let it grow on it’s own. The grafted colors are all over this colony now, it’s just hard to get a good picture. The funny thing is that the colony has neon green highlit areas now and the hot pink colors have faded. The mother colonies look just like the picture. I’m wandering if the hot pink colors will come back out. Either way, it’s pretty cool.

Hey,

That’s awesome. Really nice pieces

I suggest grabbing a bunch of frag plugs, slapping a cool name on it like a hubba-bubba grapple stylo and sell each frag $1500. Your own designer coral
 
Looks like a green pigment infection which might not stay and may fade back to the original color. Most green pigment infections do but some do turn out to keep and look like a true graft. Good luck!
