metrokat Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm curious to know which corals you have that emit different fluorescent colors at night with the moonlights. Online coral selection is very difficult, as sellers use different lights, obviously choosing the best light to show off the coral in question. My tank shows almost all neon greens with only 2 oranges (blasto and ric) when moonlights are on. I was hoping to add some more that would show up as orange, gold or other colors besides green. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I looked at those earlier. I'm looking for a short list of corals, not the comprehensive analysis of fluorescence in the articles. Thank you though. Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Such a damn tease for a man. Don't like #1 or 2, or 3 (is green but pretty, what kind of monti is that? #4 does nothing for me #5 is great, king midas? #6 is pretty! what is that? day light pic? #7 I have #8 nice piece, I'm not sure I like plates, might add one but much later.

kevlow Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Wow, 'Kat, With tact and finesse you pretty well consigned most of DHaut's coral to the D list. LoL. This thread has it all: education, corals, and entertainment kevin. Link to comment

Builder Anthony Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just like my most favorite picture ever.........favias are very nice corals but i dont think frags cut it with them a nicd size peice is really needed. Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 And that is why I've never liked favia, those frags look awful. Square cuts just look awful. Your colony is stunning! wow. Link to comment

Dani3d Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Zoanthids and palythoas are very colorful under actinic especially LED and have all sort of fluorescent colors. That's pretty much all there is in my tank that have yellow, orange or red fluorescence. I do have one type of mushroom that are fluorescent red but I don't know the name. Link to comment
basser1 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Here's pic of a duncan colony I had that glowed when the actinics were on: Link to comment
HVani Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I don't have a picture because my camera can't get the LEDs right, but I have found rics and devil's armor palys to look amazing under actinics. The devil's armor have a beautiful pink center that glows under the blue light. I have a ric that is a bright fluorescent orange with a green mouth that looks amazing. Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have a duncan, orange ric, blasto, ora green birds nest, green leopard palys, eagle eyes, blue mushies, red mushies, green leather and some others that glow nicely. just looking for different color glow - like yellow/gold, more orange, more red, pink.

MikeTR Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Maybe an orange hammer.. pricey tho. Acans are the shiz.. hardy too. Link to comment
HVani Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Zoas and palys seem to come in every color imaginable. I even have some pale blue sparkly palys that look very nice under actinic. Link to comment

Have you looked into any cloves. I've got some gold cloves that glow a really nice gold color under the moon lights and also some papaya cloves that fluoresce green in the center but orange towards the tips. Like this: and this: Link to comment
gena Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 omg! Are these the papaya cloves? Where did you get them. I want Link to comment
Felicia Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 omg! Are these the papaya cloves? Where did you get them. I want The picture is not of the ones I have in my tank, but they look the same. I just don't have a fancy camera to take pictures like that. I got them as a frag from someone local, and he mentioned that they're not all that common. My little frag is growing like a champ right now, so maybe in a few months I can start fragging it and list some up on here. Link to comment
