YHSublime November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 Any forum members have experience with it, keeping it a canary yellow, or does it go green on you depending on lighting or phosphates? All stuff I read online, anyone have real time experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRon November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 I've seen talk that it'll stay yellow under high light and low phosphates and tends to turn green when those two aren't met. The pics I've seen when it turns green are pretty amazing still. However, I have no direct experience with this one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've read is the same thing. I'm considering a Christmas gift to myself if my tank is still running come then. I'm surprised none of our local SPS junkies have thoughts?

matt November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 Did anyone grab some from battlecorals in the last GB...might check those people in another month or so. I don't have the yellow tort. I DO have a highlighter stag that colorshifted to more green on me...happened when I decreased my photo-period. No idea if that applies, but sharing in case it's not just a lighting intensity thing you should look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have several frags of highlighter stag, more of a green for me as well in the whites I didn't see any on the most recent Battlecorals GB, but now I'm interested in it after the GB. womp womp.

We'll see how it grows I'll offer some frags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised none of our local SPS junkies have thoughts? lol why dont you place all those frags first and see where you at for space etc....for someone looking for a minimalist look ya sure are a collector of stuff...if you put all those frags on your rocks now you would be tapped out for space most likely taking in growth patterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime November 19, 2013 Author Share November 19, 2013 .for someone looking for a minimalist look ya sure are a collector of stuff. So future plan is deep dimensions, nothing is going to grow so fast and large on me that space might be an issue. And if it does, what a great problem to have! I'm already weeding out what I plan to keep, and what I don't. You have have seen me inquiring about Tony's plating acros, but you're right, I do collect an awful lot. Still interested to hear any and all experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachabballi reef November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 (edited) going to start calling you goldilocks...always looking for the next tank .....that feels "just right" instead of just enjoying the bed you have and taking a nap good luck with the coral...its a beauty Edited November 19, 2013 by sachabballi reef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to find out a little bit about the coral first before it makes it into the tank, I've got a lot of green! Although, a yellow tang would suffice for this particular color want...but you said it first, it's a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 I have a frag of yellow tort. I placed it near the top of the tank. It's bright green (really bright) instead of yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 I've seen some frags of it in and around CMAS WAMAS over the past few years and none of them even closely resembled the real deal. They were likely sold by Mr.Coral as "LE wannabes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachabballi reef November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 (edited) i think you have to have zero excess nutrients in your tank for the yellow to remain yellowish and low kevlin lights . 10-14k Edited November 19, 2013 by sachabballi reef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 I also have several frags of highlighter stag, more of a green for me as well in the whites yeah, mine is placed low...so maybe 150 par when my bulbs were pretty new. it held its original color until I decreased my photoperiod. It's getting less par, but less time in the lights too. Still looks lovely, but isn't the same color as what Graham sent me. That's ok for me, I was decreasing photo-period when trying to bring out deeper colors as a lot of my corals were more pastel when the stag was so bright. It kinda worked... If your stag went green I wonder if that means youre more likely to see the tort turn green....let us know if you pick up the tort and that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
