Nice pic!.......and so are your other ones you have posted.

Yes, the "dilute" gene is a very interesting one for sure!

Thanks Doug.. I want to find out about the realationship between coral snows and dilute genetics.. I have heard some people say they believe coral and dilute might be one and the same.. But that remains rather inconclusive at this time..

Regards... Tim of T and J

Hmmm,..from what I understood, the "coral snows" are a hypo snow, that have varying degrees of pink coloration enhanced by the hypomelanism.

I do understand however that the dilute gene does tend to enhance reds and yellows in certain forms from what I have read.

whatever the case though, the dilute gene certainly has some more surprises for folks to understand.

best regards, ~Doug
