Corals that Glow/Fluoresce?
 

One of the most interesting things for me with corals is seeing them/their zooxanthellae glow/fluoresce under actinics or moonlights. It adds a new aspect to sw that is I never saw in fw. I am just starting to populate my tank with corals now and just have green candycanes that show this characteristic. Can anyone recommend other corals that also fluoresce well?

anything that is green or yellow will brighten up. lots of LPS and Leathers do that

Lots of zoas will as well...

frog spawn, blasto's and acans really light up in my tank

High quality open brains & scolymias also fluoresce very well.

Bright green wall hammer/anchors do too.

Most brightly coloured LPS fluoresce under actinic/moonlights/blue/20000k lights.

Don't forget the mushrooms. Some of them fluoresce nicely.

Any SPS fluoresce?

Some do. I have an orange digi thats looks awesome under my LEDs. I also have a couple green stags that do.

If u want to see glow
get a blue led light, u will even notice some florescent orange algae on your rocks !
ohhh boy is so pretty to look at my tank at night with it...

:biggrin:Thank you for all the leads. Lots of options and that is what is great about sw.

Kevotron, what type of LEDs do you have? I have a couple powerbrite leds and the colors really pop under them. They are too expensive to light my whole tank with them though, I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.

I gotta say I love staring into my tank at night. Most of my acros glow at night, they look radioactive!

I went to Walmart's auto section and saw they had these stick on "underglow" led lights and they come in a series of 8 for like $20 so i just rewired it to a power adapter and vola !

Neon green birdsnest kind of does

Ya man, there are some pretty snazzy ones that fluoresce. I've seem some pretty cool ones recently... light electric green and purple! PM me and I'll put you in touch with the chap who has them!
