[spaceman]

Hi Guys!

Amateur qns here:

Are there yellow Goniopora and anemone? A friend of mine told me that they are dyed yellow and are fake stuff?!!

Is it true?!!

Thanks!

there is such thing as yellow anemone..

but in shops 90% are dyed..if u can get it from a trustable source then i guess its okay..but it wont be the same pricing as normal anemone as yellow anemone are rarer..

I have a yellow cup coral which i really suspect was a dyed one!! it is TOOO yellow!!

but after a few days skimmate returned to normal kopi-o color byt miraculously the anemone is still purple. no signs of dyed.
