night corals

[rjjs]

what are some of the best corals for viewing at night with the blue LED on?

I'm interested in knowing which corals "flouresce"  under blue LED.    My green open brain looks radioactive with only royalblue led's on.

some of the zoanthids I had were quite plain under regular lighting, with Royal blue led's "set them on fire"...

although I find you don't need "night corals" if you want that effect, most of my corals remain open under royal blue led only

When r u gonna post pics of your tank? Eager to see how it turned out for you... How are your corals doing under the LEDs?

I find that if it's a bright solid color - usually my greens and reds - it usually pops under my moon lights.  My red shrooms, neon hammer, and a couple of favia and zoas all light up pretty cool.

Ill post pictures soon, hoping to start a build thread, will probably do it during the time off for the holidays....

I also don't have a camera that will take decent pictures.... you really need a DSLR with RAW mode in order to capture what the Royal blues can do.  every setting I've tried so far on my crappy fuji xp10 is washed out in blue.

Maybe I'll have a DSLR under the christmas tree this year.... (here's hopin)
