Looking for a touch of red or pink to add. I and am curious if there are any Acro's that fluoresce red or pink under blue lighting? If you have any please post pics. Thanks in advance.
 
Red Planet is a good option.... It is readily available, doesn't cost much and has some very nice red tips and polyps with a neon green base. Another to look for is strawberry shortcake... Same deal as the Red Planet
 
Sorry for chiming in as a newbie -- I've got a pretty good sized chunk of RP. While it is gorgeous, IMHO it doesn't really fluoresce under the blue lights much. The green does a little, but the red sorta disappears under actinic only.

I'll check my Setosa tonight. I think it might be the one red that pops under the actinics -- We've got an unusual amount of red/pink in our tank too : /

The setosa definitely fluoresces under blue light, but it is a montipora.
 
Procorals Rainbow floresences very bright pinkish red under blues,

Tierra del fuego also looks nice under blues but not as bright.

Red planet does glow red under blues but it needs very high light to be all red and no green i think.
 
My red planet does not fluoresce.
CLosest I get is Forest fire digitata, orange/pink setosa... pinker under higher light .. orange lower.
Reeftech starburst cap. Most of those are more orange..
For truly pink but not an acro.. I have Jason Fox Orange violet. I think is same as mystic sunset.
