Grafted Zoas

[Saltfishlover]

Was wondering if a grafted Zoa would continued to grow in the colors of the two grafted , or will it go back to original colors as it grows?

As far as I know grafting zoas isn’t something that happens when two colors are grown next to each other. Interested to see what others have to say about this.

I thought that is how they get the various colors. Just curious before I make a purchase of any.

Eventually the fastest growing zoa will over take the others in the zoa garden.

A zoa garden I would but on seperated rocks and push close together.

I wish they did. As mentioned the faster grower seems to take over the others. For instance I have Pandora’s that grow like weeds and have to be carefully what I glue next to them since they’ll overgrow anything in its path.

Pandoras are gorgeous I've got some. Yep very fast growers.

They definitely will, why they were always seperated.

I've seen and had zoas graft but it was only a polyp or 2 and the rest of the zoas stayed the same color between the 2 colonies. My experience anyway.

That what I was wondering.
