I was looking at my tank and I noticed I have pretty much every color under the sun except yellow I have a few favias with yellow eyes and chalices with yellow eyes but no true yellow coral , what's up with that?
 
I've seen yellow acros arrive wild. But there is so much blue in our tank lighting that they adjust to green.

When I kept acros outside under sunlight the yellows kept their color very well.

you have Fiji yellow leather, some pagoda corals turn yellow, and of course sun corals, otherwise ya not much yellow
 
I have a yellow polyp pagoda and a yellow with purple polyp encrusting montipora. There is a person in a local mn club who has the most yellow acro I have ever seen. I lost my colony in a tank move
