Just picked this guy up at the LFS. Not the greatest pic using a flashlight but I think those who know, know, ya know?
Care to take a guess?

Yes sir. One of 8 Fiji Yellows my LFS got in. I also picked up a branch of Fiji Zoas. I couldn’t pass it up with the polyps it was displaying. The others were still pretty closed up but this one was fully open so I’m hopeful.

That’s great! I can’t wait to see it once it settles in
Will definitely post open pics. Its about 4 inches below the water line under a 250w 10k halide.

Out of curiosity, why would you start with it so high in the tank? Are you not worried about burning it? I know leathers can handle quite a bit of light, but I’d be scared. The yellow hasn’t been available for a long time
I’m not too concerned. My understanding is the Fiji Yellows come from shallow water and are used to intense light.
Here’s a pic my wife sent me while at work:
I’m hoping it gets fuzzier like I’ve seen in many pics.l but that’ll probably take some time and putting it in higher flow.
Here’s another pic with minimal edits.
Just for reference, here’s the unedited except cropping
A long time ago before the nem explosion.
