Florescent Corals?

wakerider017 · 07/19/2012, 06:54 AM

Really want some corals that pop! I just love corals that fluoresce!

Right now I have a green tip torch that is okay, A purple tip frogspawn that is blah, a couple of zoos that are pretty blah, and my brightest specimen is some green star polyps! lol.

If you guys could recommend some corals that will really pop, I'd appreciate it!

Code:

My ATI Sunpower 60" 6x80W in hung 8.5" above the water line with the following light combination.

1.Aquablue
2.Blue
3.Purple Plus
4.Blue
5.Blue
6.Aquablue 

I have the lights separated into two sets. The first group turns on bulbs 2 and 4, the second group turns on bulbs 1,3,5 and 6 at the following times:

Group 1
If Time 11:00 to 21:00 Then ON 

Group 2
If Time 12:00 to 19:00 Then ON

Are you going to be going SPS as well or just LPS and Softies?

Ya, I setup the system to be able to handle SPS, so they are fine too.

Montipora Setosa is super bright orange. That is the most flourescent coral I have in my tank right now.

Rics are great bang for the buck in fluorescence.

We just got a green dome open brain. REALLY pops; its the brightest thing in the tank right now! (the flower pot to the right of it is actually quite fluorescent too. Doesn't look it all compared to the brain!)
