Yellow Goniopora

ntec · Dec 25, 2020

My lfs has some yellow goniopora for sale but I was wondering do yellow goniopora exist in the wild or would these be dyed? I've never seen yellow ones before and couldn't find much info on them.

Yes there are definitely yellow goniopora out there, sometimes green ones also look yellow bc of fluorescence and lighting. I have a green goniopora and a few yellow tipped gonis. I also don't think that there exists dyed coral, fairly certain they would die. Google yellow goniopora and you'll find some.

Thanks and dyed corals do exist. They have been around for a long time.
