Fluorescent Corals Under Moon Light?

[iloveseaturtles]

I recently purchased a 50gal reef tank off of Craigslist, and I'll be getting it on the 30th One of the corals in it glowed under the moon light. I thought it was really cool, so I decided I wanted more. The problem is this, though: I don't know of any fluorescent corals! So if any of you guys have any experience with corals that glow under moon light, please share! And pics of them would be appreciated. Also, are moon lights the same thing as actinic lights? Because I've found a few things about corals glowing under those, but none of specific "moon" lights. Thanks so much!

My frogspawn and pagoda cup both appear to be a fluorescent green when the lights are out except for my LED moonlights. I agree it's pretty cool looking. Had a brain coral that did the same, but he died

Within one species or common name, there can be several specimens that will flouresce and there will also be several that wont. An example are hammer coral. Some flouresce, some don't. Anyway, it really isn't useful for you to complile a list of them. For one thing, the coral you purchase will depend on what's available at your LFS. And if you see something at your LFS, you should research it before you buy anyway, and you will know if they will flouresce or not when you research. For another, some will floursece under a specific wavelength but not at others. Actinics in the 420nM usually do best, I believe. And here's a cool thing: a lot of coral will flouresce under LED moonlights!! . Even my zoas will glow bright green , and I also have red palythoa colony that looks like a sea of blood under the LED moonlights.
