gus6464 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Don't know why these acros are not more popular compared to the plethora of blue and red acros out there nowadays. The yellow on this puppy is wild. Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It's actually green/yellow. Will change to green in most tanks. Link to comment
gus6464 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 It's actually green/yellow. Will change to green in most tanks. All other examples I have seen of yellow vermiculata online have been yellow in people's tanks. Link to comment
uwdanno Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 +1 to what Kat said. The vibrant yellows are either so Photoshop'd its criminal or completely unsustainable in a home tank. The Coral Kings sells a yellow coral -pikachu- and they continually get blasted for it losing its color by the time it gets delivered. Buy yellow- expect green. Link to comment

Ahh ok well I just ordered a frag of that yellow from UC so we shall see how it arrives. They said it has been in their tanks for a while and it's still yellow so I'll see how it takes to my tank. Isn't high potassium a requirement for yellow? Link to comment

They said it has been in their tanks for a while and it's still yellow so I'll see how it takes to my tank. Isn't high potassium a requirement for yellow? Awesome. Fingers crossed for ya!

gus6464 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Well I do run ULNS as I skim hard and my nitrate and po4 have been running at 0 for months. Let's see if it stays yellow in my tank. Link to comment

Potassium is for blues and purples, reds and pinks actually. In fact if yellow corals turn green, and you dose potassium, that's an indicator to cut back. Link to comment

Ahh well that might put a damper as I run potassium super high. Red Sea can't even test for it anymore. Link to comment
