Seen many different morphs of Acropora, but yellow has been the toughest to find. I happened on this one by accident. It was originally olive green and after bouncing from my tank to a friend and then back again, this coral turned yellow.
I'd love to see more Yellow acros or even corals that had amazing transformations.

It took me a bit, but I found a pic of the colony when I bought it as a frag 3 years ago.
 
I don't have a yellow acro, but I do have a yellow montipora digata, just don't have a picture of it right now.
 
My sunset milli to the right.

Older pic of it under some white lights in the background to show yellow. I've got 2 more that are showing some vibrant yellow, I'll get some shots of those tomorrow as well as lookup what the names of them were when purchased.

Good-looking stuff! I like the Yellow Bennett tort and the pink lemonade.
 
Yeah, that second one is a beaut!
Thanks. It's finally starting to take off after pumping some more light at it. I believe, based on my receipts I searched through, it's a Bali Shortcake.
 
It's green because my nutrients are a lot higher than normal.

Placing a very obvious green acro behind or close to your ' yellow ' gives your eyes something to compare and tricks the viewer into seeing a more ' yellower ' acro than the exact same acro sitting alone. There's a lot more to color placement than just sticking different colors all over the place, i use every ' trick ' in the acro book to make my reef look the was it does.........;)
