Heres the thing about coral.. A lot of people I have heard say, Hypo A is involved for an animal to be a coral.. Beats me.. I don't think that is what is going on, in some cases I really thinking Dilute is in the mix, other cases it is line breeding, and then perhaps another masked gene ..

Regards.. Tim of T and J

...that is not a regular A hypo in them.....

....head pattern looks "sunkissed" okee pattern...color is totally different from all I have seen....

guess I have to go and see the definition in the" words of them"

....Thanxx..........a fiend came over and said ""look this up....""...he thought they were pretty and pretty cool ...

Thanxx

I can see the type of hypomelanism affecting the coloration of a ghost corn. I just cant see how hypo combined with amelanism would result in any kind of dramatic color change in say a snow or amel corn. Amel and snows have ALL black removed by virtue of the amelanistic gene, while hypomelanism affects the black coloration differently amongst the various forms of hypomelanism, as well within the same form of hypomelanism (ie, all hypos are not the same).
