Hi guys,

Sorry to disappoint but "blue phase" Whites is simply what those in the states call our Australian Whites, as opposed to the more olive PNG variety.

With Eatern states Whites a blue colouring is not uncommon and the amount of blue often depends on the mood/temp etc of the frog.

The scientific name "caerulea" actually means blue and comes from the original preservation of specimens collected which washed out the yellow layer pigments leaving only the blue pigments.

The photo in that link may just be a normal one (i cant really see any sign of green though), as they can all change colour to some extent. The blue morph does exist, check out "Wildlife of Greater Brsibane" published by the qld museum in 2007.

Nice looking frog, I seen some Australian varieties of GTF go blue green very close to aqua green; but never aqua blue like the one you linked

here is a color table
