GRAFTED ZOAS AND GRAFTED PALYS
Post all info and pics of your grafted paly's/zoa's here please
 It is the nuclear green and purple death palythoa that I grafted together using a razor blade and allowing them to join together naturally creating a grafted paly like the precedure in which they use with some plants/roots etc I think.

i commented last time i saw this but i think its sweet im going to try it one of these days soon, so you just get a couple of polyps of each to heal closely together then slice horizontal and vertically and allow them to grow into each other??? very interesting and great picture

Have you had success with this in the long term? I saw this and was immediately interested since I would like to do the same. However when I googled it I read an article by Eric Borneman and it basically said the three ways of fusing corals. One being fusing two completely different corals together (which immediately did not work for most corals resulting in rejection. Basically the corals started attacking each other). The other ways were grafting two corals together of of different genetic makeups (or somethign like that) Basically like two different zoas which you did. Here they found the corals did come together but did not last for very long and in the end rejected each other. According to the article the only way that worked was putting two corals together from the same colony (like two branches of the same acro). In this case they found it fused very quickly and lasted.
Anyway has it ever worked long term?

Started a new post because I was grafting as opposed to hybridizing.
So far it's been around 2 motnhs and the grafted nuclear death is still looking the same way. While the 2 babies have a slightly smaller % of the 50%/50% color I'm looking forward to there offspring. and there out come in order to see if they end up going back to normal. Just attempted to graft these zoas:    I used a different grafting precedure on the zoas. If they don't turn out I'll go back to the original grafting way, which is letting them grow into each other and slicing them into each other.
