I need some yellow in my tank in the form of acropora. I'm leaning towards RR Pink Floyd and pink lemonade types but wondering if any other yellow pieces are out there that I don't know about? I'm not really looking for something yellow under blues but a truly yellow piece under daylight settings.


Thanks,

Matt

Oh, on a side not has anyone ordered from frag house corals (FHC)? I'm wondering how accurate their pictures are?

I’d give you a frag of my BC mr neutron (basically Pink Floyd) when it grows out, but this thing has been growing about as slow as the flavor parade for me
I was looking at that one. I thought about getting a yellow battle box but with so few spots left I think it's best I pick and choose.

pink floyd took forever to grow in my last systems.

Floyd, wolverine, picachu. All close versions of themselves, but most yellow I’ve seen.
Those are the pieces I remember when I was shopping for a yellow piece a few years back. I feel like Floyd takes the cake with those. What do you think?

Some of those fraghouse pieces look nice, but those shots are heavy blue. Maybe send them an email requesting some daylight pics of a few you're interested in? Doesn't hurt to try.
Yeah I might give that a go. I like the look of that speciosa, yellow with red polyps. But at the price it's a big roll of the dice and I'd be bummed to find it to be only yellow under blues.

I'll have to look that one up. I've had a few pieces like that, kinda yellow. That's how my A. caroliniana is.

Funny I was just poking around looking for something yellow too. I was on FragHouse but totally missed those pretty Speciosa.

@CoralNerd yeah man he's got some pretty cool looking speciosa on there. They do look pretty fresh cut though, makes me hesitant. The yellow red combo is awesome but something about the shape of those polyps makes me think it's gonna be weak or difficult to keep. The polyps seem thinner than other speciosa I see?

@mattyzang those are some sweet looking pieces. The copps 24 karat looks cool. That EC piece I'd want to see in person for sure. If that's the color thats pretty badass but it looks like ASD rainbow kinda too, which is cool but I have already.

@SeeFu I've struggled with them a bit in the past as well. Slow growth rates but I've also lost Helios, some floyds and a pikachu in previous systems. Pink lemonade I did loose but that was to metals and lost my SSC, that one seems to be hardier for me a growth was good.

Unique has this Golden Goose millepora that looks interesting. I'm going to ask to see a colony picture. Hard to tell what lighting that's under, algae looks kinda normal.

I might swing by Unique later this week, so I can look at that one. Also, check out another local vendor here in the valley (Woodland Hills) Reef Exclusive, he has some cool stuff and the prices seem pretty good.
https://reefexclusive.top/acros-signature his pink lemonade looks pretty cool.
