MAybe, but a think is a reference of Saban’s Little Mermaid series, Marine have a green tail.

Same commentator who mentioned Fluttershy’s unique tail color that doesn’t match her palate. I’d have thought it would be pink, as there were two with a tail that matched their coat color with fins that match their hair, two with tails that only match their hair, and AJ whose coat is the only thing that matches her tail, as her skin is another matter.
 
As others have stated repeatedly, Applejack is so damn gorgeous, she tops all of the others by a landslide in this state. With her green tail, Fluttershy is definitely the runner up.
 
This is the first panel to be somewhat upfront about the side effect that could not be swept under the rug later. I personally think that aspect additionally cruel, yet another way to increase the odds of contact being made. I think it should be tagged, too. Deterioration.
 
||Fortunately, I do believe that was stated to be a temporary side effect that will wear off somewhere between eight and twelve hours. In which case, I think it would be best for Sunny to provide AJ and Pinkie with long dresses and elbow length gloves, and wear one herself. The two of them can get along just fine out of water. Then after getting walkers and/or wheelchairs (she’s quite loaded) the three of them go shopping for long dresses and thick rubber or leather gloves to provide the others with. Before you can “cure” this, you must first contain it. And always be braced for the likelihood this is permanent. ||
