WD Morphing?

[ygon]

I cut a few frags of my WD about a month ago. Today it occurred to me that the polyps on a couple of the frags have almost turned a redish color. Could this be due to lighting? The original colony still has the same color. And not all the frags I cut experienced this and they are all sitting on the same rack. I added a cherry bomb around the same time I cut these but that could just be total coincidence. Any one else experience anything like this. I am adding some pics of the mother colony and the frag that has turned the most red.

Can’t tell from the pictures, you’ll need to send that frag to me so I can see it closer.

hahaha, I think I am going to move it back next to the mother colony, let it cook and see if it regains the original colors.

Looks cool to me. Why not leave it and see what it grows to look like?

Day light pic?

Yeah I agree,leave it and see what becomes of it. I think it already is looking better than the WD.

Let's see, it seems all of the one on that rack have started turning that red color. I'm going to move one back just to verify if it's a lighting thing.

I'll try and take a full spectrum pic tomorrow but honestly the polyps dont look look very different from my cherry bomb.

You sure that you did not get a frag confused with the Cherry Bomb?

I guess that a morph is possible... there are people who think that there have only been a few different types of A. Tenuis that have come in and the only real difference is what kind of trick-light and LEDs that they were colored under.

This coral is known to morph/change quite a bit. See here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/t...ont-wanna-miss-this-fuego-fuego.48042/page-54

Definitely not, I only have one frag of cherry bomb it's finally started to encrust. I'm not sure about the trick light

Wow, thanks for the link. I didn't realize this thing could change so much.
