If you look at this page, you can see this coral as GREEN or BLUE/TEAL: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1600510&page=2

How do this coral get the BLUE/TEAL colour? I already have a Green Turaki, so if I source this one I dont want it to look green.

It's teal... ish... I have green turaki, and my Hawkin's is a totally different color. In fact, I sold my backup colony to nonstopfishies who posted some pics of it in that thread.

I would call it teal with light blue growth tips. Mine has always been low in the tank to show those colors.

I've seen some Hawkins in other tanks where it was placed higher up and it looked more like a plain green turaki.

Yeah I struggle to get it to get the true colors with where I have it placed (approx 350 par )at the bottom lower half of dead center in the tank. I think its time to move it =). It's a pastel/metallic two tone green in my tank.
