There's some pikachu in there

I'm probably way off anyways. Is the pikachu the second one? I'm guessing they're all the same colonies from different suppliers.

Yes that's the pikachu.

I'm on the same page with lots of corals being from the same colony at one point. Due to conditions and the amount of photo enhancing can make a big difference in appearance.

This! ^^^^[emoji20]

Not the same colonies and I can say with 100% there was no enhancing.
What different light but foremost different water conditions can do to corals especially SPS.

Definitely, The same colony in diff reefer's tank will appear differently.

I was speaking in general and not specifically about these corals. Water colony plays a big role in what colors will be pulled out for sure.

I knew you were but I just highlighted.
We still don't know what the coral the OP posted is in it's given name or can we called it the "yellow freedom acro"?

You know how this name game works. Without a confirmed lineage it has no name.

We all entitled to make a linage as long you can supply demand.
I have plenty of linage but due through unorganized and bad planning from my side most of the corals in my tank are nameless, LOL!
For example if I have pll coming by and they ask me this............

Friend; Hey Ben what's that bright red with yellow tips and pink base?"
Me; Oh yeah I think I got that one from TCK but it can be from BC too, I called it #3 yellow.
Friend: No I mean the linage name, what is it called?
Me; Don't want to be a PIA but I really don't know any more, same as that one and this and the five SPS on that rock and in the right corner I know that's a SSC but that's all I know of that group of 21 SPS.

Sometimes I send colony pics to vendors that I think I got it from and ask them if they recognized the coral.
Yes I'm that bad in coral names, LOL.

I'm the same way! Going back through your emails can help if you can find the order confirmations. [emoji6]

I'm not one to worry about lineage because it does not add or take away from a coral. To me the beauty is in what it is and look looks like, not the name.

Your right in a way, I mean most of the time lineage doesn't add value(to me) as much as it just shows color and growth for others to expect. It's really easy for someone to Google tyree pink lemonade and see everything about it vs that yellow and green Acro with pink polyps and purple base growth. Lol [emoji3]

To me, fancy names are given by vendors to boost up their coral sales. As long as u like it, whatever names doesn't matter
