Very good explanation Doug, but now explain why it is ontogenetic and not expressed out of the egg....

Amel tricolored ruthveni all hatch out with white rings where the blacks are supposed to be. The white turns to yellow over many sheds over a period of time.

BTW....Same thing happened with my Yellow Amel Speckled king ya know?
