True yellow acros

[CoralWealth]

I am looking for some suggestions on TRUE yellow acros, that look yellow all the time not just when you have blue leds on and use an orange filter.

Please list some below and pictures of it, I would like some daylight pictures if possible.

I have a banana yellow sps in my tanks right now. They are definitely out there.

is it a named coral or a maricultured?

Pikachu and Pink Floyd are nice.
You need to have lower p04 and some n03 to achieve yellows though. Good luck and reef on.

These are pretty much the only two I could think of. I want to try them soon when I know my tank is ready for higher end named pieces.

Maricultured. But I've had this one for weeks and it has remained yellow as the day I got it.

Boomcorals, don't you think a maricultured acro needs more than weeks for it to change color? Ime they all change at some point at least a little. Some will take a number of months to change hues.

Cody, yellows that are wild or maricultured are hard to keep sometimes. A lot of the corals coming from natural sunlight look yellow but will turn green without proper light and nutrient cycle. There are certain species notorious for looking yellow when arriving and staying green after aclimated to a tank. If your wanting true yellows there are a number of tank raised corals that are great. But if they are not a popular named piece make sure you see them in person or know that others have been able to keep them yellow, pics are sometimes misleading as well as labels. The oldie but goodie acros that are yellow are good starters to learn how to keep the color vibrant before trying wild pieces.

This wholly depends on where you got the coral. Let me explain. So far in my experience with the coral I purchase, the vast majority of them, if they are going to change, will do so within 2-3 weeks. On rare occasion I've had one change some color 1-2 months after. BUT this also depends on where you are getting your maricultured corals! Some wholesalers turn over maricultured corals within a couple days of getting them (or less!), so not only have they not had time to recover from export/import but now are being shipped again and put into a vendor's tank, and then that vendor turns around and sells them again within a few days to the end customer. This is not a good thing in my opinion, as it will tend to not only have higher rate of a dead coral but also very likely to have a large color change.

Me personally, I bought from many importer wholesalers until I found one that is extremely good when it comes to maricultured corals. To start he keeps them for at least 3-4 weeks before he sells them, and then once I get them I keep them at least another 2-3 weeks as well to ensure they are healthy, stable, and for the most part will not change color much more - if at all. To date, I have had ZERO maricultured coral die from this wholesaler. Sure it costs a bit more from this wholesaler, but it's worthwhile. This is simply how I do business because I want my customers to be happy, and customer service and the experience come first in my book.

That said there are many benefits to aquacultured corals as well, which is why I carry both. But, they also cost a lot more since they generally take a lot more resources, time, and money to grow.
