Generally speaking, those types of changes are not so much a morph as they are a change in pigmentation as result of lighting schemes. Just out of curiousity, how long have you had the frag, and have you changed your lighting at all recently?

wow that is very cool

i have had the frag for a long time, over two years. I have been fraggin pieces off for a while now. but it just started to show the half n half shade. I haven't changed the lighting or placement. Maybe the constant fragging caused something to happen. Im just not sure

As far as I know "morph" is what people call when the zoas change their pigmentation because of the lights or other reasons.
Please let me know if I'm wrong and why.

The changes on the zoas' pigmentation most of the time is mainly because of light... :squigglemouth:

Thanks,
Grandis.

If I was you to I would frag just the 2 face polyps off and may be when new ones sprout they will also be 2face looks like they grown together and fertilized each other
