📜 Backstory
A naturally occurring yellow morph of *Tubastraea*, widely available and sold by LiveAquaria as 'Tube Coral, Yellow,' and by SaltwaterFish and Tidal Gardens as the yellow sun coral. Mostly wild-collected, with some aquacultured stock available. It is a recognized color form rather than a single named designer line; lineage of individual colonies is generally undocumented.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep in low light with gentle-to-moderate flow; target-feed each polyp individually with meaty foods several times a week to fuel its polyp budding and hold its color.
