I was curious if anyone had ever seen anything like this before, I havn't seen a Devils hand like this before, and was curious if anyone has ever seen a green polyped devils hand? I would love to see pics of other peoples if you have them....Post them if you have it!!

You can see my frag in the upper left, its grown quite a bit...

I've got one of those!

Sorry for the pic iPhones don't seem to pick up true colors that well. Mine is alot brighter green in person. And ignore the xenia forest lol. That's not even half of it.

I used to have a green polyp myself but it cought a severe case of necrosis and I couldn't save it. It was a sad sad day, but I'm happy now with my white polyps.
 
Great looking corals, I wouldn't go as far as to say they are a true green polyped lobophyton as the color looks like it is only present under deep atinic lighting. I would love to see one under true 10k daylight bulbs that could hold that green color. I have one pretty much the same as pictured above that has yellow/gold polyps under daylight but greenish if I put it under blue lights. It cant compare to the true green polyps on a green polyped sacrophyton though.

If your talking about mine, I don't have any suplimental actinic lights, I just have a Sunpod with stock Current Brand 14k 250w metal halides...

I would love to see what you call true green polyped lobophytum though, I have never seen them, Ive seen the green polyp toadstools, and the green polyped "Crown Leather Coral"....I would love to see what your calling true green polyped devils hand though...
 
I just bought one of the neon green mumps leathers about 2 weeks ago and wow the green is intense even under 10k spectrum. As far as a true green polyped lobophyton goes, I have yet to see one but would love to if some one has one that is truly green polyped. An example of true green polyps would be ORA's green polyped toadstool or the tyree green polyped toadstool. You shouldn't have to squint your eye's to tell if its really green or if its just the light spectrum making your corals appear greener. I currently have an Australian green polyped crown toadstool under 10k 250 watt halides and I'll tell ya, the polyps are almost as bright as green star polyps.
