[Petar]

Hi, I have a small yellow porites for quite some time, and it was always been yellow brown, so I have move it in the middle of the tank almoust on the surface to get complete yellow coral, but i was unsucessful. What is your opinion regarding it and can you show me pictures of yours.

Thank you very much,
Petar

if you ask me.. depending on your lighting setup that yellow may never look yellow
under your own lights. sometimes i notice this problem when buying a coral and bringing
it home to only find out it looks yellow/greenish. i have a small frag of yellow porites in
my tank and my lights made it look a different color. at the LFS, the yellow was much
brighter looking. healthy sucker though so i am happy in the end.

no pics at the moment. sorry.
