Help me find a yellow SPS, what is it?
I have heard there are no true yellow SPS acro/milli/poc's etc out there. Also, depending on light and tank placement, things change. If I was going to have to pick something, as close to yellow as I could get, does it have a name? What should I be looking for? I see some pictures on google but they have no real name other than yellow acro. Well, no duh, but, is that all I am able to use for a yellow-ish genus or taxonomy?

Deep water acro. Suharsonoi are yellow but grow slow and are hard for some people to keep. Mine is holding a nice yellow color and is doing well but not growing much.

Yellow isnt exactly a desired color. To me, it just reminds me of brown corals.

Given enough light in a LNS, Turbinaria reniformis can have very pretty yellow polyps with yellow growth edges as well.

Not sure the technical name, but I have a Lakers Scroll that has large (relative to SPS anyway) yellow polyps. Rest is purple. But really all you notice is the yellow. Plating coral.

I have a yellow birdnest. I might have also seen a yellow M. digitata. But they seem to be more pastel than metallic in colour.
