Proven: To what degree it is proven out to not just be polygenic? After 12 years of breeding trials it has been consistently reproducible from other visuals, and not reproducible from non-visuals in the line. Halo x Normal = half of each. Halo x Green Blotch = Half of each. Halo x Halo = half halo, 1/4 green blotch, and 1/4 non-visual. Green Blotch x Normal = 100% Halos. Normal from the line x same yielded no visuals.
Unique: Why do you believe this is a new morph and not an existing one? No other morph in the list strictly identifies this yellow.
Problems: Any problems? No
