Lol good name ill do that once it grows out into a beautiful
Colony. I almost sold this frag to a reefer here for $20 lucky he never showed up and the color morphed few days after

could it be that each mother had a different clade of zooxanthelae (spelling) and when the two pieces were put together they shared?
that might explain it as i have seen it myself in palys

I dunno. Mybe its cuz I glued them as single polyps so it was easier for them to be compatible with each other? I will experiment with different colours n different size frags to see what else can magically happen =)

I thought I'll give my old thread a lil update and show this Christmas miracle that tons of hobbiest thought was not possible to grow 2 diff types of acros together and have them fuse. Well few months later it's growing quite well and totally fused at all edges. Yup the green is however growing much faster than the purple but hey there has to be a winner =)

Awesome growth man! Happy reefing and merry Christmas!

Nifty. I've got a similar deal going on with green & red(maroon?) montipora. I don't have a recent photo, but below is a shot soon after I stuck a bit of the green on to the larger maroon specimen. Obviously the green was at a size disadvantage right from the start & due to various mishaps & growth rate inequities, it is being overshadowed. But still hanging in there. I may intervene & break off some of the maroon monti to give the green a better chance.

I love the look of that! Thanks for the update!
Planning on making more of those?

Years ago, had a purple, red & green monti cap that fused and scalloped together like that.

Thanks for the update.
