All of the pictures have had a bit of tweaking during the raw conversion. I tried my best to get them to how they look through the viewfinder.

The corals above are (in order from top to bottom): I have no idea (is a shiny gold color under 14k), Sunset Monti, Sunrise Aeq. Monti, Monti Undata and a red/blue acan.

How about a picture of the light? Neat work!

It always amazes me the different ways that things in our tanks can look depending on the lighting used.

Tremont-

What type of coral is that first pic?

I'm not sure what it is. I picked it up at a LFS because it looked cool (the store didn't know what it was either).

Here is how it looks under 14k:

Hee Hee..sounds familiar. I've got the same coral, for the same reasons...I'm still trying to identify it. :)

Thanks!

Hrm...reading various blurbs on this coral, they say it like high flow and med-high light. Mine browned out and then receded a lot after being under high light. Now it is under a ledge in the shade and doing great.
