After looking at the new idea for morphing it brought back an old thought i had. I was told morphing was due to interbreeding not anything i could control. I have plenty of tiny insulin sterile needles with really small syringes so my question is. can you inject the zoalanthae algea from one zoa into another zoa to create a hyrbrid.

I'm confused. Let's start at the base of your question. Who told you that morphing was do to interbreeding?

I have a question about morphing, the guy at the LFS told me with a straight face "that if you microwave a zoanthid colony for a few second it kills of some of the Zoalanthae algae and the zoas morph."

Are you sure he said "Morphs" and didn't say "Melts?"

Sorry i reread my op and corrected my english but it was a local board which lead me to believe that morphing of chemicals is due to sexual type reproduction between two varying species. but i cant see that being a possibility so i want to cross the zoalanthae algae of two species but is that what kills two touching corals? also is there a good way to extract these chemicals?

thanks
mike
