I've just updated www.reefsource.com with the following information:

1. Meet me at MACNA! See where I'll be, and make sure you say hi!

2. Watch out for dyed corals! They are being imported into the US now. Check out the pictures and don't get conned into thinking that a pink colt is natural! <grin>

3. The local hobby club visted our facility- check out the pics!

4. Read a prime example of how the media continues to sensationalize the industry/hobby. Can the continual mistatement of facts in numerous publications all be "mistakes"?????

5. Updates on the legislation that has been bombarding the hobby. If you are aware of any legislation that may have an impact on the hobby- either positive or negative- please let me know!

Thanks for all your help Mary

cheers to you,
Joe

I have now fragged a fourth generation of Colt corals from an original pinkish Colt (a frag from a frag from a frag from the original.) Every single frag has retained its pink color in my tank. I don't believe that the dye from the original (if it was dyed) could be retained in such a high concentration as to continue to color many generations down the line. It should be declining exponentially.

I think there are indeed pink colts.

A light pinkish colt may occur naturally- the bright fuschia/hot pink ones shown on my page do not.
