I personally think that they are not a new morph, but just a hypo whitesided that perhaps is a lighter shade of white than some other hypo whitesideds. Shades of color can vary in color morphs, and this may have been a term thrown out in the race to " name " a morph, which actually may not have been a new morph at all.

Well I'm not sure. I use to think they where just Hypo Whitesideds but the European ones seem to better looking(clearner and brighter white). I have the European line. But I have not got definate answers . But this Year we did a Axanthic X Ivory and half came out axanthic, So an Ivory may just be a True Whitesided Ghost(Axanthic, Hypo and Whitesided. These True Whitesided Ghost seem to be super variable in colors and patterns, jugding from other breeders( like Sven) and have many photos of offspring

What it comes down to it we need to do more test breeding on the Ivorys, including outcrossing and line breeding more offspring.

Yeah, you may have a point there. It may just be a test of time on those.
Merry Christmas bro!
