Default yellow sps question
I had a retailer add a "yellow pimple encrusting monti" to my last order.. sight unseen. It was described to me as bright yellow with white polyps. Well.... it has white polyps.
Its tan, with a hint of light greenish yellow around the edges. If anyone has something like this.. where do you keep it in your tank to get the yellow to color up? Ive tried it high.. its tan. Ive tried it low.. still tan. Any ideas?

Assuming you have at least 250w MH lights, I'd leave it in the middle of the tank for a while and see if it changes. Are the rest of your SPS colored? If this came out of the ocean, it may just need a rest to get used to captive conditions.
