What causes the grafting in certain corals? I heard somewhere that it is some kind of disease or something like that? Sorry if this is off topic and mods feel free to erase if necessary. Just curious is all.

the price for this one is $90 for a 1" frag.
Grafting is the same as in horticulture, and its where the idea came from, ever heard of a fruit cocktail tree? 2 corals same sub species, placed so they grow together. I have been considering a trellis system for zoas, also a horticulture based idea/ technique.

I emailed them earlier about this coral and the other Raspberry Sherbert Acropora they have and they said, They are the same piece. It has been turning different colors. It will start to graft under high light. Just wanted to share that little bit of info with you all.

Well according to reef farmers the graft came from a piece of pocillipora touching the other and while in transit for a week or so from Bali it stuck together and when they spereated it the green stayed.. They have actually grafted 3 generations now with the same corals... It goes on to say that the green will become perdominant and take over if it is not farmed to keep it from spreading... Kinda wierd...
