The green palys are called Green Implosions. I've had them for almost 2yrs. If you don't mind a little advice on them, keep them culled back. They're very fast growers, invasive even and they irritate other corals.
I culled about 50+ and they're growing back just as fast.
Those are, Green Implosion palys. Beautiful for sure but very fast growers. Invasive even and they do irritate other corals. Keep them culled back as I do and you'll just love them. They prefer low light. In higher light they tend to turn somewhat brown.
I love love love them! Especially the dimming feature, and ESPECIALLY the long long life of these suckers. When I upgrade, I can reuse every bit of this build from the LEDs to the Drivers and power supplies.

Cool! I'm a zoa/paly nut. So, I knew what they were before they hit the water, but I didn't realize they'd lose color under higher light. I figured the opposite. Perhaps they act like Purple Deaths. I'll keep an eye on them. Thanks MizTanks!
BTW, did you ever notice your Green Implosions getting a single white line going from the center out? I've seen this on a few of my polyps and then it seems to go away the next day.
Sure have seen the white line-not only that at one time I thought I had a morph because within a bunch I had one that was all white, yahooo! Not! Within a couple of days it turned green.
Yours may do better color wise under those LEDs, mine are under cf's.
Holy Bananas!!! Yes, that is the white line I'm seeing. They've been occurring and receding since I added them to my tank. Those look amazing! Kinda like a people eater of sorts. I hope I can get mine to morph like that. Thanks for sharing!
You should post that pic to coralpedia and give them a name. Maybe something straight forward like Sparkling Green Implosions, or perhaps a little more theatrical like Sir Patrick's Coat of Arms Palys.
What kind of lighting did you have them under and how intense? Did your tank experience some sort of event that might have sparked the morph? How long did they take to change?
