I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

It's probably a rainbow (one of the many montis labelled "rainbow") but could easily be a pokerstar. Montis in particular can and will shift colour depending on lighting conditions. I once had a pokerstar that changed to look like a rainbow. The tell tale sign of a "true" rainbow is that the polyps tend to change colour with time rather than lighting.

This one started out blue base and green polyps.... then, as you describe, changed into the three colors. Over about a year.
