Fiji Green Lobophytum?

[Northwest_Scapes_]

Since Fiji re-opened, my LFS has gotten in 2 of these "Fiji Green Lobophytum" Leathers along with the popular Fiji Yellow Sarcos, but I've never heard of these before. A marine bio friend thinks they could also be Sclerophytum Leathers. Just curious if anyone has one? No pictures come up when I search up the species besides this one from Pinterest of all places that looks like it could be over-saturated but someone also said with proper acclimation, high light, and good water quality it could color up like that in the end which sounds possible. The ones at the LFS are kept under Blues so you can't see their true colors, but hopefully someone knows what they look like once settled in.

I was considering one of those when I saw them on the website.
I'm willing to bet the pinterest picture is highly over saturated.

A book I've had for decades shows a brown version that looks very similar called it a Fat Finger.
Says it's a lobophytum sp. but also mentions that
" some reviewers have suggested that this may actually be a Sinularia sp."

I can say that the 4 we got were the brightest green Lobo/Sclerophytum i have ever seen. They have lost some color but are still very bright throughout and im sure they would color back up after settling in/under ideal conditions.

Not Sinularia; Sinularia are cabbage leathers, but I'm taking it you mean Sclerophytum. Sclerophytum doesn't have siphonozooids while Lobophytum does

Yeah it a old book, just used mainly for the pictures.
