Coral - Polyps

These brilliant Yellow Polyps soft coral sports one of the rarest & vivid colors  - bright Yellow!  Because of this it will stand out among your other corals.  Once established in your tank it is a moderate grower & hardy soft coral.  Give it good light to keep or increase the intense yellow coloring.  Lower light will make it increase the zooxanthellae in it's tissue making it look a little yellow/gold in color.  Low alkalinity can have a similar affect.

All pieces will have a MIN number of polyps chosen.

This pic is a Parent from which babies are made. Babies are mounted to real live rock unless otherwise noted.

Soft Coral Color Guide:  Example - Base color "Green"

"Green" = shows it's green color mostly under actinic blue lighting

Neon "Green" = shows it's green under full daylight but is more intense green under actinic blue lighting

Ultra "Green" = shows it's green under full daylight but literally "Glows" green under actinic blue lighting!  These stand out over all!

Metallic = the color has a metallic sheen to it.

What a soft coral displays for color is greatly dependent on where it's positioned in relation to your light & the intensity & color of light above it.  Most soft corals lighten in color as they expand (much like a balloon does when blown up) and often intensifies in color &/or looks darker when closed due to tissue concentration.

Like wild soft corals, aquacultured tank raised soft corals offer many benefits to reef fish like hiding places or perches and even sleep spots!  Tank raised soft corals are much easier to keep than hard corals and they add beautiful form, color and movement to a tank.

My Parent Tanks as well as baby soft coral pics are taken under "full daylight" which is an equal mix of 10K & actinics.  I work hard to represent my soft corals as they are without color doctoring photos.  Use my images as a guide & expect some variances given your tank conditions vs mine.

To get the same results, give your corals approx. 6 hours a day of "full daylight".  Resist the urge to keep them in blue actinic color POP phase.  Sunrise then high noon full daylight then sunset over 10-12 hours is best.
