Me either. Thats why I was asking. They are usually green or a teal color.
I'm afraid but I'm hoping it stays yellow, I have seen one that over a period of a few weeks turns regular green.
What was the price tag on it??

I have never seen a real YELLOW one. back in the day they would DYE them. This pretty much looks like one of those. hope im wrong . the real "yellow ones are faint brownish yellow.

Oh well, either way i got a pagoda cup. They do real well in my tanks. Ill just grow it out.
they like water movement and use to be quite common many years ago.
I have not seen a large one before. The yellow kind will grow much slower than the green or purple varieties.They won't compete well will anything either, so be sure to find it a safe spot for it.That's a perfect looking frag you got,thank you for sharing!

A frag of yellow just sold in my reef club for $15, it was about that size too. I knew I should have got it! Funny enough, the club is in Augusta, GA. Only a few hours from Savannah.

Well add that to the list of my next corals. I have bright green and green/purple one already.

Update: it was dyed. It bleached and is now turning a pale green. My LFS is pretty cool. i believe they didnt know, they gave me store credit and told me to keep it. So reefers beware of dyed corals!!
