Most zoanthinds with bright colors, reds, yellows, oranges pop nicely. Green color does nicely too, my gsp glows under all blues.

Almost all zoanthids look great under actinic as mentioned, My florida Rics also draw the eye, the combo of oranges, yellows, and green can be striking.

you could get a green leptoseris - just like the jack o lantern, just green lol. things that glow nicely though.. spongodes, green slimer, setosa, neon toadstool, gold paving, highlighter acro. anything green or yellow, even some reds. there are a bunch of colorful zoas you could get too.

I think all corals pop but just need the right comb of light.
zoos are really nice under actinic

i have a gorgeous green hydnophora coral that is super vibrant florescent green. only bad thing is that it's very aggressive and will kill any coral that it is too close to.
this doesn't even come close to it's color but you get an idea. it's just to the left of the clown fish.

Greens and oranges are what's going to pop the most
