Also from one of the spawns from a gold project, popped out this guy. He is a very platinum looking plakat due to the thick opaque, combined with the metallic sheen throughout his body.

I intend to use him as a breeder, maybe increase the opaqueness, but definitely the goal is not to develop gold. So, let another secret project begin! :)
His stout appearance is an attraction to many, but I feel that it is because he is slightly short-bodied. Will ensure that the female I use compensates this trait, and also his heavy branching. Here's my boy:
