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.

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.
