That is a very poor concept to decide if something is just a "flaw" or not. I would almost guarentee there are no designer morphs in the wild, much less a whole colony of them, but they aren't just considered a worthless flaw are they?
As far as the comment about albinos not being able to survive in the wild, with alot of species that rely on their color to hide them from predators, an albino would have a much lower chance of making it, but some do manage to make it.

Re: that wierd "morph"?
if a pieball is considered a morph, than why can't this thing. pieball are juse a flawed pigmentation in the snakes skin and now people breed them like crazy cuz people think its beautiful. i can;t consider this snake a "flaw" if a pieball isn't.

I don't think all "super" forms of co-doms have been found in the wild.

Not an argument, just a thought.

I thought about this thought when I read this.......http://www.seedmagazine.com/news/200...ogs.php?page=1
A probing question in a nice post. Though I'd add quote marks to the word "better" also.

Re: that wierd "morph"?
Interesting article, and pleiotropy is an interesting concept that I never would have considered. I always assumed that organisms would just "lose" certain functions when no longer used or necessary.
