I don't think I would personally call either millepora true yellow. Your old millepora was getting close near the middle up but still a shade of green to me. Plus if the polyps were out in that pic I'm certain it would only look more green. I believe this is what you called your highlighter millepora. Looking at the picture on your website I see even more green (probably more polyps as well) and you list it as green/yellow. True yellow is very hard to find IMO, but everyone sees colour a little differently. Those are both nice millepora though either way.....and I'm not saying they are the run of the mill green.

I will add though that millepora especially have a tendency to darken up after being in an aquarium for some time. Fact is sometimes it seems like yellow millepora get shipped in but in all the cases I have seen to date they darken up and become more green over time in the aquarium because they were just a little bleached from shipping.

This is my experience anyway....and I have been proven wrong before.
