Montipora grafts have been some our most successful. We have done many grafts in the lab that have been successful and turned out beautiful but never on Euphyllia. From our experience, we have had a multitude of success with plating and encrusting coral as well as various SPS. Though our lab research requests for studies in grafting coral are few and far between, we are allowed to run our own research as long as it does not contaminate current studies or interfere with productivity. We mostly test equipment and supplements for commercial and home use supplied by manufacturers prior to the products hitting the market. The best part is that all of our coral projects are displayed in the local youth complex allowing the active children in the area a chance to learn about our planets coral reefs.It’s unlikely all 10+ heads would look the way this one head looks. In reality to get a half n half head, it has to grow against the line where the grafts were glued together.
I cant remember where but I remember seeing a wild grafted monti. These are often done by putting two different coloured montis near eachother and letting them grow out to graft - my old LFS had a stunning naturally grafted monti this way.
