Yellow acro

[Gordonm]

I'm waiting for a yellow acro to arrive but I've been reading from being an easy to difficult one to keep. I would imagine it requires high lighting?
It was cheap so i thought I'd give it a go.

Depends on the type of acro, but in general acropora are among the most difficult corals we keep if you're not used to keeping very stable conditions. They require that stability to thrive. They also need high light and most prefer high flow. What are your parameters?

This is the one i purchased.

Have you kept SPS/LPS before? The picture isn't super helpful tbh, but it is pretty!

Yes i already have some acro in my tank. Was just wondering about the yellow ones in particular

Looks nice but I was picturing an all yellow acro.

Its hard to tell from a picture until i get it. Just sold as a yellow acro. I don't suppose anyone can come close to identifying it?

Nice looking piece. Where did you get that?

Looks like green with peach tips to me, grow it out and name it ?!
In other words looks nice.

TCN Yellow Tort has some very good yellow coloration, and it grows like crazy.

Can be hard to find, but mine has nearly doubled in size in the last six months.

This frag is so small it is hard to say how it will develop until you get it into your tank and settled.

Yeah thats what I first thought. Have to wait and see how it looks in my tank.
