In my 65 gallon tank, I've become fasinated by those coral which glow with an almost "neon" color under actinics and my moonlights. Wickedly cool!Currently the colors I have are orange (orange/blue ricordia, and Armor of God(?) Zoas), Red (red Gonipora), and greens (GSP, several different types of zoas). Want to know what other corals have this effect and get some different colors. Also, if you have any frags available of the corals you are suggesting or will have in the future, will you please let me know. Thanks so much for your time and interest.

Red Monti Caps,Green apple monti caps, closed brains...alot of them blue green yellow..red...ofcourse super colored florida ricoreas. some birdsnest and elegance if you find the right ones,brain favias, some brain worms,yellow goniporas are amazing but difficult to keep. trumpet corals super neon green, I have all these corals they are beautiful. I have a 125 fully stocked...anyways I cant frag them because I'm, not a good fragger and I cant risk damaging the corals...anyways I hope I gave you some cool colors etc..

Green hydnophora.... NEON green. But be sure to keep it away from other corals, though, because it has a potent sting (when you touch it, you can feel a warm sensation from the contact).

I think the list is smaller of corals that dont floures under actinic lighting. Any SPS, LPS and soft corals that are labeled with a color will floures under actinic lighting. Xenia, for example typical xenia will not but blue xenia will. If you think the colors pop with actinic or moon lights, try this. Let your daylight cycle almost complete then switch off all lights and hit your tank with a black light...I got pics of mine... its awesome!!

Cool, what other colors beside the standard green/brownish stripped and the more neon green, which I believe is called a trumpet (although not sure about that)?

Trumpet coral, candy coral, bullseye coral, bagpipe coral(I've heard once are twice) are all caulastrea. The neon greens are my favorite, but you'll also find a variety of two-toned, such as the green-brown you're talking about (with some searching, you'll find some blues, pinks, reds, etc..)
