📜 Backstory
Offered by Doc Aquarium (a California coral farm) as 'Yellow Kenya Tree' (*Capnella* sp.), with a listed origin range of Indonesia, the Coral Triangle, and the South Pacific. CommunityCorals (Germany) likewise references a rare bright-yellow Capnella. The yellow form shows up less often than green or pink, but it is still sold as an easy, beginner-friendly coral at modest prices (Doc Aquarium lists it around $20 with 'Easy' care), so it is uncommon rather than a high-priced rarity. No single-collector lineage is documented.
Keeper tips for this variant
Vendors list medium-to-high light (roughly 150-450 PAR) and moderate flow to help hold the yellow coloration; give it a slightly brighter spot than the brown or pink forms.
