I know that the coral in the Kahl albinos is a trait that has been essentially line bred into the albinos from selectively breeding albinos that have a coral appearance. I see animals named as coral Sharps and I wonder what the origin of the coral is in the Sharps and to what extent it is reliably passed on in each generation.
Did it emerge in a similar way where a small number of animals showed the coral appearance and were then selectively bred or is it just part of the range of normal for Sharp albinos. Are there known coral lines or certain breeders whose animals tend to be more coral than others? Does the hypo gene have any effect on the coral appearance of the animals?

I would appreciate any information that people can provide.
