What happens is that almost all of the coral and a very few fish floresce.
In order to see it you need a focused LED flashlight or beam.
You need to have every light out and shut out outside light as well. It needs to be pitch dark.
It magnifys if you have a yellow lens (like from a camera) over the flashlight or your eye.
