Nice job Ryan! Looks great! It'll be interesting to see how the colors develop on the two. That's actually been my biggest question on these rainbow/bleeding apple scolys. You find a really great specimen with great pattern and color distribution, and think, "hey, that's the perfect specimen; I'd like to make more of that one!". Problem is, we don't know how the color pattern distribution is determined on these species and from what I've seen it appears to be somewhat random. So, we cut up that perfect specimen into two, and each half looks good, but what happens to the overall pattern when they heal?
Not knocking the process at all, and I'm glad to see we are developing so far into aquaculture at a hobbyist level. I just think it would be great if we had some way of influencing how the pigments get distributed on newly developed flesh. It would be a shame to lose such a nice specimen to fragging because the colors don't turn out the same. It's the main reason I refuse to cut up my tie dye mushroom because the color patterns are random and there is no way to reproduce what I currently have with any reliability. I have been toying with the idea of cutting the cap off and seeing what happens with the foot, thus preserving the top and its pattern.
