I BELIEVE a coral glow is a caramel ghost and a banana ball is a banana ball two totally different things. The banana is just one gene.

Caramel glow is a caramel ghost, coral glow is a single gene mutation. I don't believe banana and coral glow are the same, though they are similar.

Yeah, a coral is dominant single mutation. It's basically a dominant albino and looks similar to bananas, but to me banas look like the lavender form of the coral glow. Like there is the normal albino and the lavender albino.

i would be interested to see if they were brought in from the same region or not. And i guess that is information that only Kevin and Will will know.
Im guessing that it will just turn into another lesser vs butter argument.
I reckon they probably different but close enough to be called the same

cheers

Has anyone tried mixing the two yet? Any Coral-Banana clutches out there?

And what about "Whitesmoke"? Is that a Coral, a Banana, or yet another line of bright yellowish morph?

they are actually totally different banannas are a simple co-dom corals i belive are not i know they originated from a import of kevins many years ago called a white smoke wich like the name implies kinda a white colored snake nothing like the coral or bannanas

Yeah, like I said. Bananas are co-doms and corals are a dominant. I can't remember if it was Ralph's site I saw the coral on, but I believe it was. I believe I read that he had bred it and 6 out 7 babies were corals.
