Eric,
If memory serves me correctly, the photo posted was of a wild D. couperi, as I believe the individual posting it is from Florida and was indicating the coloration variances he has noticed among wild specimens in various localities.
Keep in mind, certain areas of low D. couperi population densities could very well have a more limited gene pool than the current captive population.
Good work, as very few seemed to have picked up on the anomaly from the original posting on either forum.
Also, I indicated Photoshop gone awry, as the photo appeared to have been "touched up" a bit. But than again, this could have something to do with my severely limited abilities in the art of photography...
Best regards,
