Fiji Yellow vs. Other Sarcophyton’s

[Reefing102]

So for those who haven’t seen the difference, I figured I would post a comparison photo of my Fiji Yellow vs my other toadstool. These photos are unedited except for cropping. Photos taken under 250w 10k halides with 2 450/475 Aliexpress Light Bars. Normal toadstool on top, Fiji yellow on the bottom.

You’d get very diff colors with LEDs. Fijis look the best under MH. True yellows come out. They look green under LEDs unless you run them really white.

Here’s one I had back in the mid 90’s. Also under MH.

Yes, LED doesn’t help the Fiji yellow, but good color can be achieved as mentioned with more white. My LFS keeps their Fiji corals under Orphek Atlantik (not sure on the spelling?) but it’s close (eye wise) to a 14k spectrum I’d guess.
