    It depends on your spectrum and the type of zoanithid. Some will look basically blue under any light, others will look progressively more blue under higher K lighting.

    They will show their color just fine. Sometimes the colors don't exactly match due to the bulbs, but if they are blue they will be blue under PC.

    Mine are lighter blue than they appeared in the picture when I bought them, but they are blue.
