The 2nd pic in the collection pic is a rainbow monti I bought from WWC. Are there just multiple types of rainbow montis?

Different tank biology can greatly affect the coloration of corals. My superman table is suppose to be red and blue. It's completely green in my tank and I know the pictures I bought from were for real, so go figure.
