Many crustacea (i.e. lobster, crabs, crayfish) have green glands. Crustacea are the dominant anthropods in the marine environment.

Green glands are the excretory glands of certain crustacea (or antennal glands). They are called antennal glands because they are located near the base of each second antenna and are green in color.

I tried to find you a diagram of the green gland, but unfortunately I had no luck.

Hope this info is helpful.

Some minor additional information:
"Nitrogen waste is extracted from the blood by green glands. These are located at the anterior of the animal, and pores through which the nitrogen waste leaves are close to the eyes and antennae."
