MOP has two different color polyps??

[bct15]

I bought a MOP frag from what the heck about a year ago. After a little while in my tank it's cool glowing blue polyps all turned green (it still looks awesome). Well, I was looking at it today and some of the polyps are green and some are growing in that cool glowing blue color. Anybody experience this as well?

Mine r blue and it's the best pice in my tank !!! U guys got pics ??? I just got wow factor acro and looks similar but polyps look white

I'll try to get some pics tonight, it is difficult to get a picture of because it sits directly under my halide and my camera does not like that amount of light. The newer polyps on the branches are definitely blue while the older polyps near the center and base are green...

Check you phosphates and nitrates.

Check you phosphates and nitrates.

Nitrates are almost undetectable as always, phosphates undetectable last time I used my buddies hanna checker.

Here is a couple pics of this thing, it is hard to take a picture of it because my camera is not amazing and it is directly under my Halide, which the camera does not like. The polyps that are not green are blue though, particularly the ones on the branches towards the ends. These pics were taken under 250w 15k xm halides using two different camera settings, one for under daylight colored lights and one where it adjusts the blue balance automatically. Neither of them capture the intensity of the colors and you have to look hard to see the blue in the polyps on the branches but in person it is easy to see.
