Does anyone have any Green Nepthia out there? I am looking for a piece for my thank. If anyone knows anyone that has some please let me know.

I did a google search on Green Nepthia and most of the pictures that I saw looked like what I think of as Colt coral. (I never claimed to be good at naming corals) Do you have an image of what you are looking for?

Under strong light with good atinic my "colt" has developed a metalic green sheen in the past. Also the frag that Jodi just traded me fits the same general type of description.

The google pictures are bad, but it does look like a piece of colt, but it is bright green

The nice thing about Green Nepthia is that it is an endangered wild species of coral that you can no longer wild collect, however it is totally thriving in the private aquarium trade.

Here is a link to a pic:
