It's a beautiful coral but I'm not a fan of the ketchup and mustard contrast.. I was looking something more solid..or even hints of green or blue
Zoas are a good bet then. Lots of color combinations to choose from :)

I would love to have some branching type coral that isn't acropora lol
Honestly not a better brancher than a anacropora. They aren’t as demanding and are much easier than acros.

Thinking of buying a yellow coral at aquashella. What kinds of yellow corals do yall have? I'd love to see pics of colonies.
What yellow corals are your favorite and which would be a good beginner for me as I just started coral? Are there yellow corals that look just as amazing with white lights as well?

Hope yal have an awesome day!! :)
There’s many yellow corals out there!
If you want to dip into easy SPSyou can try sunset millies

If you just want easy coral then your best bet is a yellow fiji leather. These are gorgeous in person and a staple of any old time reef (I remember when we had leather and softie dominant tanks and a yellow fiji would almost always feature along with red colt coral).

Also in terms of Acros you can get fancy coloured of most species now. Here’s a microclados that features a red/pink base with yellow corallites.

Are there some yellow ones you like?
The Goldenrod is a great alternative to a Pink Lemonade if you dislike the Acropora but want the colouring.

Yea I was hearing about the yellow fiji leather but that it's hard to find. I hope one day to get some acros but for now I use tap water and dose nothing. My current corals seem to love it. Until the day they won't and I'll have to learn how to supplement lol.

That's beautiful!! Is that the goldenrod? I was reading up a bit on anacropora and read that there's limited color variations.
That is the goldenrod, I love anacropora but as you say, the limited colour variants just make it hard to centre a tank around them.
I believe the only two that are really well known are the TNT and the Goldenrod.
Here’s the TNT against a Red Digi.

If cost is not is issue, banana torches are pretty insane looking (not my pic).

Any ‘golden’ Torch is great!
I personally love Hellfires and Dragonsouls as they just show 3 colours on a single tenticle.
Here’s mine under whites and blue lights (the blue is filtered)

I really like how the psammocora looks but is it relatively easy to maintain? I'm not too knowledgeable on the leptos how would they compare to psammocora?
A Leptastrea is the best mix between both of these corals. my leptastrea can be seen dead centre. This is a John Deere Leptastrea, Leptos generally don’t have the nice PE but Psammocora does. IME Psammocora is harder to find however Leptastrea has the mix of both worlds with the shapes of Leptastrea with the polyps of Psammocora.

If you can’t tell already… Both of my tanks lack yellow corals so I’ve been adding colour to them. I currently have one very orange/tan tank and one very green and red tank.

Yellow sponges are uncommon and really cool too.

I love that banana torch. How much is too high of a price? Like what's the max you'd pay for one at an event? I don't wana get hustled lol.

Idk I feel like sponges remind me of spray foam insulation..not too attractive lol

I guess it'll all come down between coloration for me. Although I'd love to have one of all 3 lol
