The brood stock can be several generations old.
Breeding true is the main objective in these operations.
There is much work right now with zooxanthellae switching.
Brown corals and clam seem to be more resistant to warm water bleaching.
Taking the tolerant zoox and injecting it into colorful corals yields a very unlikely pair.
Much like finding blue eyed Siamese cats that are not deaf.
Then establishing a brood which has the blue eyes but with out the disadvantage is not hearing.
