Brett,

Thanks! That really helps my decision as I have been wanting a Yellow Mille for a while. Did you pick one up and the same with the Bonsai? Just love the yellow freckles on blue!

I've never seen a yellow millepora in someone's tank long term....only on new shipments. What I have seen and experienced is that they are just slightly bleached green millepora and will become more green with some extended time in the aquarium.

Sorry but I disagree as it depends mainly on one's system, I have kept them yellow and have friends acheive the same result. If you look in the link below (sorry you'll have to go through lot's of pictures) you will see a bright yellow mille I used to have and although it had some green hues, over all it was mostly yellow.

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.
