Default Unique frogspawn?

Just wondering if this is a common coloration for frogspawn or is it a special one? I personally have not seen any like this but I am newish to the hobby. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

It looks like a regular green and purple frogspawn to me. But is kinda hard to tell with the picture.

I have that same exact colour variation of frogspawn. Not exactly unique but not that common either. Frogspawn is usually green with purple tips or brownish with brown tips. Not so common to find one with green around the mouth like that. I like it.

It's not the regular green and purple frogspawn. Only real green is around around the mouth, not on the arms/tentacles.

Your description nailed it. Only green around the mouth. Definitely not a green and purple frogspawn. Thanks!

Here's a photo of mine opened up to better show what it looks like and how its different from the typical frogspawn.

Here's a pic of my "normal" green and purple frogspawn.



Very different. It's obvious from the photos and in real life that these are two different colour variations of frogspawn and NOT the same coral. It's NOT lighting, cause these two are in the same tank.

Have the same one, also a green with purple tip frog, honestly can see a little difference in between the 2, so I did some research ( on google) and a lot of people call that one octospawn, just my 2 cent

This is what I've always considered Octospawn. The Euphyllia in the middle has only two huge heads and has glowing green tips on dull green/brownish arms.



This is my "Kryptonite" Octospawn. Neon green tips on bright green arms.



Sorry for the poor quality cell phone pic.
