Fish that glow in actinic/moon lights
I know that certain coral have a pop when they are under actinics or moonlights. Are there any fish that also pop brightly under actnic/moon lights?

Pine Cone fish glow but you need a specialized tank to keep these.

Fish do not fluoresc like certain corals. Pine cone fish have their own light. Turn off all tank and room lights and shine a uv light on your tank. None of the fish glow, clams don't glow but mushrooms, zooanthids, LPS and SPS corals will. Anemones glow brightly.
