Corals that glow
What are some good corals that have a nice glow/neon affect when the actinic bulbs are on??? I have a frogspawn and i love the way it looks with just the actinic bulbs. I would like to add other colors that glow like my green frogspawn does. Suggestions???

Anything with a green will glow well under actinics I've found.

IME..
Most LPS, zoos and mushrooms are sure bets. Greens and orange seem to be colors that almost always will, as well as some pinks and reds depending on the type of coral. Purples and blues kinda dissapear under actinics. Here is an old pic of some of mine.

If you really like that effect, get zoos, lots and lots of zoos. They seem to with ANY color. Them and mushrooms especially ricordia, those are the orange ones in my pic. All together they turn your tank into a blacklight poster..lol

The top right is an orange encrusting monti, next to it (just to the right) is a red blasto. The one below on the right is a pink/orange monti cap, the orange comes out in actinic pics.
