Yellow acro ID, please help.

[NatureNerd]

I have not been able to ID this one either. That is two straight I needed help on. You know, I thought I was pretty good at this but, the couple possibilities I came up with don't seem to be correct when I check "The Coral Library" website. Any ideas? Thanks for looking.

I really want to know what it is and how to best care for it.

Maybe Divaricata with more axial coralites than usual. http://sdmas.com/corals/24.php

My initial guess.

Thanks. This was one of the possibilities I came up with too. I wasn't sure that the difference in coralites meant it was a different species. I think that depending on flow, there may be differences in morphology. Thank you again.

My guess is it won't stay that color.....but you could get lucky.

I agree, it probably will not stay so nice and yellow.

I've had a couple yellow acros stay yellow.. got one now that's pretty nice. You never know you could get lucky.

Keeping my finger's crossed. Only had it for two weeks so far and it looks great. That said, I have never seen one stay this yellow for very long. You must have a very healthy reef.

no I can't say that I do.. I'm striving for it but having alot of issues over this summer.. I think I just lucked out on this one wild piece. I pretty much have a sea of brown/green except for 3-4 pieces at the moment and this happens to be one of them.
