Tony, isn't that what we do already? That is what so cool, you introduce a deepwater species like lokani or granulosa etc, into shallow water (our tanks) & intense light and they turn bright colours they don't normally at depth. What's even cooler is they thrive in the new conditions.
(ok maybe not in Tony's tank but that is a whole other topic)


Here is an example from my tank. Is this bright enough for ya'?
