Hi Rich,
        We have found the full spectrum of color ranges from solid bright
yellow to
dark purple. The range has expanded as far west as Shinnicock. My guess is
that the eggs and sperm must be water swept and then colonies become
established. They are prolific, that's for sure.
                                                       Love to the family,
                                                           Mel S.
