I'm looking for some recommendation on some new zoanthids. I'm looking for something that "pop" under actinic lighting. I currently have AOG, Joker, Day dream, Radioactive, Miami hurricane, and Watermelon zoas.

To be very honest, all of them will, with the exception of solid very dark brown or solid black polyps will have intense coloration under pure actinic only. Just curious why you are only concerned about actinic coloration? Are you running anything other than actinics?

I have some pinks that were given to me, very drab looking when I got them, but under all the actinic I have they are awesome, they look black with pink 'splashes' everywhere.

if you want them to really "pop" , consider LEDs..

I've seen many blues that do though.

CAR's are my favorite, but as stated above most zoas will glow.

I just picked up some strawberry wines and they definately stand out compared to a lot of the other z&p's I have.

I like my Strawberry Wines too. My CAR's look great too.
