Coral Albino Q

A question for the pros out there.

Concerning the Coral albinos. Is this a trait that one can predict? or is it one that just happens randomly? (The latter is how it was explained to me, but would like some other oppinions on the matter.)

Anyone know what causes them to have so much more coloration than normal albinos? are they erythristic?

Thanks
Rick

I'm not the expert, and I have been uncertain about the "coral" albinos also. some people's explanations make it sound recessive; others', more of a codom thing. (I'm sure SOMEBODY knows the real answer). I have noticed that the really good corals look a lot like the pastel albinos pictured by Jeff Ronne. are they the same thing? there are obviously vast differences in pastels (both boas and balls), and it would explain the "random" nature of the coral strain - esp since (to my eyes anyway) the difference between pastel and normal is sometimes pretty darn subtle. anybody have any input?

I'd like to here more also. If it's recessive, than it should be predictable.
But if it's just an anomoly or something, some albino alelle slighly mutated to cause it, I don't know if that is predictable. I've heard......... "they just happen sometimes".

BTW.......I've often wondered if that is a blood boa in your avatar spot?
