    picking on a few brains around here.

    1) what are the optimal nm peaks for chlorophyll fluorescence with sps corals?

    2) name the zooxanthalle clades in corals?

    Depends what "colors" you want to fluoresce, different pigments have different excitation needs and not all corals fluoresce.

    I'd suggest Dana's multi-part write up in advanced aquarist it's a great read ;)

    LOL, that is a question I know I cant answer and think only very few can.

    Check out Dana's articles on Coloration and fluorescence in corals...they are a great primer and may help focus the questions you have.
