Success grafting sps?

Ya that's what I want to see! :P

I've never seen it done.

We often get cultured SPS combo's that have 2 of the same species (often millepora) on the same cultured rock and you can see where the two corals meet and its a thick white line. Technically, they do not graft.

Looking forward to more pictures.

theres a guy who creeps this board regularly who has sucessfully grafted a few different sps pieces, usually results in an ugly piece, sometimes one will kill the other but take colors from the dead one, most of the time you get something uglier than you started with, sometimes you get something cool

Well I don't know if this even qualifies as grafted but it has deffinitly changed color into something different from either pieces I used. There is a line between the two pieces but where they meet is a mix of the two colors in certain spots. They were fighting eachother for the first few months but have since become friends lol. Really hard to capture with my phone. Here are some pics of it, but without removing it from the rock these are as good as it gets. Looks alot better in person.

I agree with Xenon, true grafting doesn't usually happen. If there's a white line, it's not grafted.

However, Monti caps have been successfully grafted many times, and you'll get something that looks like anything from this:

Good to know. Hopefully it turns out to be something cool looking.
IV attempted to graft montis together with no luck.
