Fluorescent coral List

[Seaboy_HPT]

Does anyone know of a list of fluoresent corals that glow under "moon light" setup? Maybe we could start a list with pics.

Here is a start. I just installed a pair of PFO moon lights last night. Awesome glow. I immediately noticed several of the corals "glow"

Green Slimer - the most vibrant
Green Hydnophora
Frogspawn
Orange Zoanthids
Green Trachyphilia

None of the other SPS corals were glowing.
I'll try to take some pics later today/tonight and post them.

Here is a pic taken under actinics. Kind of artsy. The same corals that glow under actinic glow under the PFO moonlights, which leads me to believe that they must be emmitting light in the actinic spectrum.

tslawinski - RC doesn't let you link to pics located on their website . Post it up here, so we can see!

How is that Nikki?
BTW, I was able to view it as posted before. Any reason why?

I'm not sure how it works. The photos are viewable for a short time, then they turn into an ad.

Just looked at the tank last night. Can't believe I forgot about the green star polyps - they fluoresce yellow orange.

I'm still working on the pics.

Any body ever tried using a black light as a moonlight?

Yes, it sorta works, not real well. (the black light)
Also glows
candy cane corals, trumpetcorals, my green toadstool leather, rodactis mushrooms, merlina, hydnophora, and red mushrooms look really cool. I have 3x3/4wt moonlights, and 1x1wt moonlight. I dig the heck out of them.
