Got this frag at the LFS for $12. The guy cut it off of a colony for me that came in as "misc coral". Thought it might be a yellow Kenya tree but the polyps look different. Not sure if its a sinularia either though... Either way its really nice the pics don't do it justice it's a nice neon yellow.

It's not bleached out my phone takes awful pics lol it's doing really well actually. It's bright yellow in person. It just doesn't look like most leathers to me... I'm definitely thinking its not a Kenya though...

The polyps are what's throwing me off because they don't come out like they do on leathers and Kenya's. they just look like little raised circles... Weird

Again my vote is for colt that is bleached out or has sat in high phosphate tank to turn it a yellow tint. Color will return after some time.
