Anybody seen palythoa with this color morph?

I stumbled on these today in a fellow reefers tank who was willing to part with them. Pics are crappy and dont do them justice.

Palythoa Grandis

Yeah, That is the name I was trying to think of. The polyps get pretty big. Somewhere in the range of 1.5" across/ Someone correct me if I am wrong.
 
I've seen some that develop a green or a blue in the center (the blues are really cool looking). A friend from MTRC has a colony of them that are massive (greenish centered ones). I couldn't believe the diameter of them...

These will be very well fed, and hopefully spred quickly. I have several other paly's which are doing very well. Its interesting that the rock these are on also has two large acro colonies which touch the paly's and dont seem to be affected.
 
If put into a tank which has slow decent flow they inflate up to like a frisby type disk... but with high flow they look like regular grandis.. mines are biege with green... I feed each polyp a pellet or 2 every couple of days.
