Yellow LPS / hardy sps

[glennemo]

Hi guys, my favorite time of day is when my daylights go out, the actinics kick in, and my coral glows. I'm looking to expand my color palate though. I have plenty of green, nice orange ricordia's, a gorgeous red monti (thanks Chuck) and a good size zoa field with several colors. I was thinking it needs some yellow. I would rather not get anymore zoa's, but can't find any corals that glow yellow. Anyone have any idea's? Glenn

I think yellow sps is really hard to keep alive(or at least the one true yellow I've seen was). Mayb some yellow ricordias would glow nice for u

The Bali Slimer stag shines so bright it's color is the brightest in my tank.

Nice doc. But it looks green to me. I'm looking to add some different colors besides green red and orange that will "light up" under led actinics.

A completely yellow specimen may be hard to find but there are some with nice yellow highlights that become apparent under LED actinics.
Below is a short list of corals that may help steer you in the right direction.
Chalices
Sun corals(tubastrea) seen a couple beautiful yellow ones once in a while
Fungia Plates
Favia/Favites
Acans
Lobos
Wells
Scoly
Trachyphyllia
Follow the link below for a few eye popping examples. Post 777 stands out (yellow fungia, wow). There is also an orange hammer somewhere in there that will blow your mind. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1812925

Don't forget to check out the banana lokani at atlantis aquarium dot net. Mamma mia that thing is bright!!!
Fragmented 99 had a green lokani that was equally stunning. Sadly the frag i got from him died when i moved it to a different tank. Was doing fine for months then i had to go and mess things up. Tony i want another one if you have it.
