Stylophora in blue, violet and green

[electrokate]

Hi
I have a Stylophora that I know is no Milka (read about that yesterday, the hot new purple Stylo on the US market), but now am curious if mine also has a name. It appears overall to either be mainly bluish mauve, to me anyways. When I got it the color was a dirty metallic grey. That was several years ago and it colored up a couple months after.

Good condition color is metallic green base with blue polyps and vaguely lavender new growth.
Here is a picture with pretty accurate color on my monitor showing the surrounding corals you might be familiar with as color references

Lighting is minimal, 4 54 watt T5HO on a 120: 2 ATI blue plus, a KZ Fiji Purple and at the time of the photos a GE 6500K (recently switched to URI superactinic). I also have a small LED spot but it's in the opposite corner for a clam.
Any feedback?
Thanks,
Kate

Kinda looks like a Rainbow Stylo with darker color.

Thanks,
Looked at Tyree's page on the Rainbow because the other pics on the internet found in a google search for "rainbow stylophora" appear to show other stylos without the green on the base, but it is hard to photograph the green. It probably is the Tyree rainbow, the store I got it at gets a lot of Tyree stuff from a couple guys. But I can't call it that because I don't have provenance established.

As I said my lighting is minimal, it grows sps but the color is not what most people would consider optimal. Growth is. I also do not run low nutrient systems, am actually way too into the fish. I run systems with coral that can take higher nutrients and still show colors I like. It does tend to make the sps darker. I will place a frag of this in a ULNS tank and see if it gets like Tyree's version.
