But it looks like a nice one if it is really yellow. Is the colour correct with your WB? And where did you get it?

Yap I adjusted the color to daylight with WB (my lights are around 15k so had the WB at 15k) and its actually yellow (well atleast for now :P) with slight hint of blue at the tips. Got it from concept on boxing day sale. They had two of this.

Have you tried a manual WB using the sand bed or something else white in your tank to register it? I found that gives the best actual colour.

Definitely a nice piece, though. Have you tried finding a match on the internet?

Haven't tried the sandbed test yet. My camera's manual WB can be set only upto 10k or something so I always end up adjusting it with photoshop. Would have to see how sandbed looks with PS adjustment. Thanks for the idea :D

The closest I could find is this:

What do you think?

Don't think so. Acropora Yongei looks more like a green slimer, but with blue tips. Yours looks a lot less fuzzy.

Any resemblance to this? Has blue tips and light colored base.

Here's another pic, showing the base color a bit better.

Been trying to ID this one for a while. Closest I found was this frag Mad Jelly was selling a while back. They called it an Ice Fields Tenuis.

I'd say, with few exceptions, any coral available in the trade will do well in high light once acclimatized to it.

I heard that some deep waters (like red dragon) gets pale color if kept in higher light but they like high blue light so my logic said high up in blue light = great color but high up in daylight = pale color. Is it? Also heard that bonsai should be kept in medium light for brighter colors. Placements always confuse me.
