My two fish each have their favourite corners to hide in but what I like most about lights out are the crawlies that emerge. Mini white bristle stars, peanut worms and pods galore.

I obviously enjoy my tank during the day but I really get a kick out of night viewing. I have a strong LED flashlight with red cellophane on the lens that I use to poke around and observe the night critters without spooking them.

When my lights go out;

- My 2 large clowns go to the middle back wall and sleep where there is a little hair algae hanging beside the AC70 inlet.
- My 2 small clowns either swim to the surface and frollic around while the moonlights are on, and once those turn off, the one stays in the corner, any corner, and the runt goes straight for the sebae anemone.

- Bengaii Cardinal hovers over the digis and keeps the larger clowns in place.
- Blue Devil Damsel disappears under some rocks at the back of the tank.
- Starry Blenny finds an overhang to sleep under.

Then the pods come out and the bristle worms, and spaghetti worms, asternia stars and the berghia nudibranches begin doing their work on the aiptasia in my tank.

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.

my foxface expands all his spikes, turns camo pattern color and hides behind my birdnest
