    :-/ Hi quick question, some corals give off different colours under uv light.
    Will blue led lights like the standard ones in the red sea max cause them to look the same way at night? or do they only glow under uv light? :-/

    The blue LED moonlights I've seen do fluoresce coral like an actinic/blue bulb does.

    yep the blue ones do floresc them. green corals glow orange red corals get brighter and everything seems to stay open at night. its a whole new world when you put moonlights on your tank!
