Earlier this year a baby Stylo appeared which appears to be a spawn of my Purple and Stellar varieties. It resulted in medium blue polyp heads but if you look closely the "trunks" of the polyps are yellow-green, not just the base.

Has anyone seen a variety like this?

It doesn't look far off from the standard "green" Stylo but it does seem like it may be a slight variant of that coloration.

The standard OG Green Stylo has mint to medium green polyps and a tan to purplish stalks and base. This is true blue to yellowish green stalks and base. The JF Bugout Stylo would be the closest I have seen to it.

I can’t see it. :(
Sorry about that. Video doesn't seem to show up on some Apple devices. Here is a pic -
