Why is yellow so rare in corals

[benzc01]

I was looking at my tank and I noticed I have pretty much every color under the sun except yellow I have a few favias with yellow eyes and chalices with yellow eyes but no true yellow coral , what's up with that?

I've seen yellow acros arrive wild. But there is so much blue in our tank lighting that they adjust to green.

When I kept acros outside under sunlight the yellows kept their color very well.

I started a thread a while back about this very subject. I got some great suggestions

I have a yellow polyp pagoda and a yellow with purple polyp encrusting montipora. There is a person in a local mn club who has the most yellow acro I have ever seen. I lost my colony in a tank move
