Purchased some sps frags at a swap today and curious to get thoughts from others on the forum. I think it’s rather curious that all the frags have this green hue on the underside and the base. One of the pics shows where I cut through the coral, seems the skeleton is green through and through.

Not sure the corals themselves are acting sickly, just wonder if it’s a matter of time though.

Vendor is saying it’s not green boring algae.
