Default New rasta morph.

I have only witnessed a few zoas actually morph, but in most instances the whole colony would morph not just one or two.

I have multiple frags of OG Rastas and just noticed there are two morphed Rastas that look significantly different.

Here are some pics and tell me whatcha think. If the colours stay and babies produced show the same characteristics. I will call them baby Rastas or pastel Rastas as the colour look more light and pastel like.

Please take pictures in white light so we can see a realistic representation.

Yes general "salute" lol.

I am planning to take lots of pics including progression.

Even though the pic is with blue lights it clearly shows a visible difference. I'll take 10-18k pics

iPhone 5 is doing it's ting.

Plus I have a dslr camera and have no idea how to use it lol.

The free rasta must be a new morph.


So after talking to my brother, if it is an actual new morph, it will be named ghost rasta

so after speaking with my friend from the US it turns out that my rasta morph is called the Clorox Rasta LOL because it is bleached...

Now I know that the coloration seems bleached but it doesn't make sense why those two polyps only would be bleach and not the other one from the same plug or any of the other rastas that are all on the same height level. Also my radion is about 14" - 16" in height from the water's surface.

Anyways if it turns back to an OG Rasta after 3 months then in fact it was bleached... if the color holds true and the babys that pop out have the same coloration then I will have to speak with my friend from the US again...
