    Pretty much anything with bright green, yellow, orange, and some reds and blues will glow. Mushrooms, zoas, palys are definitely the easiest to care for.
    SPS and LPS are a little harder depending on species.

    They won't glow after the lights are out but under actinic light.

    +1 on everything listed

    also Green Star Polyps are awesome under actinic light
    and my Torch coral LPS is also another one that glows under the blue tubes
