I too have read those articles , and agree that the Pastel is not a color issue. I did state in my post that I thought coraling goes hand in hand with Pastels (because many of them are nicely colored), and nicely colored non-pastels.
I don't feel that "Coral" should be labeled in the same genetic way as hets. For instance -- my complextion is darker than my wifes, and our eyes are different color as well. If we were able to have 20-30 kids, some would be darker than me, and some would be lighter etc. they wouldn't be have genetic labels like Our Boas do even though it is thru our genetics that they look like they do. I think the same holds true for Corals, meaning that I think that corals are genetically based, but not as we label morphs -- but instead, just by relation.
You, obviously have alot of data on the subject and I'm certainly glad that you posted, and I hope you can continue to shed some light through your breedings. It's going to be hard since the coraling takes time to show itself. Keep us updated please, Thanks ,David
