Who at Tropiquarium told you thats what it was? Do you know there names in there? The 1 guy Brent is really good, he actually has a degree in Marine biology, and knows his stuff well. If he told you thats what it was I would believe him. Is the other 1 still there?

epleeds: That second one looks like a peltiformis. Most of the ones you see have a tanish-yellow base. The first one looks a little more green.
wdt: that's a porites. You can tell because the polyps are sunken in.
Chessmanmark: that's just a sunset look alike. And I dont think i would call the second one yellow...
I do agree that the OP's looks like a green, but a picture under daylights would help.
All of the yellow plating montis that i've seen are either "peltiformis" or a lightened/browned out green that someone calls yellow. You have no idea how much I would like to have that statement shoved in my face though.

Sunset look alike. Geez, how rude! That's a Tyree my friend. LOL Here's a top down.
As for the pink polyp monti, the camera just doesn't capture it's true color, but it is in the yellow spectrum in person.

two yellow Montipora in this pic

one is Montipora palawanensis the other is not yet identified.
Both glow very nicely under my VHO actinics.

that's a Butterflyfish
Blue lights tend to make yellow corals glow greenish. Maybe I'll take some better pix for you doubters tomorrow, but than again... maybe I won't
Nice avatars!

touche.... Haha. Hard tot ell with the achilles hiding it. Out of curiosity, what type is it? I see the copperband hiding down there.
Nice tank by the way!

thanks for the vote of confidence! :lol:
why would I lie about it? The one Monti is yellow with pinkish overtones.
Since everyone perceives colors differently some might call it brown but perhaps... just perhaps... I'll take some closer pix tomorrow.

thanks. There's a Copperband and Klein's in this aquarium. The Klein's can be seen in this picture zooming above the brown Montipora

I finally got a pic, but its not a good one, didn't feel like pulling out the DSLR, the color is a bit off, the cap is yellow (not as yellow as it should be due to some alk issues while i was traveling).
