Full spectrum led corals

[Travv26]

So I can say I do like full spectrum lighting but I still do like a ramp down in the evening to see some coral pop.

Can we start a list of mainly sps, but lps and softies that stand out in full spectrum/daylight settings

Define "full spectrum".

I think you're going to see a lot of corals that are blue added to this list. I know it's not a coral, but tridacna clams look much better in "daylight" spectrum. Assuming you mean something more in the 10k-or-less light temperature range.

I’m guessing around the 10k-12k. Or what people would call daylight. I light to run my gen 5 pros at all channels 100% and turn the intensity down.

I like my G5 blues and tend to run more blues, purples and a mix of the other colors to bring out the fluorescence.

Yeah I’m had in mind a lot of blue corals would be in this, being they get washed out in the heavy blue lights.

Yeah I don’t like the heavy blue look and not all the time. One tanks in the living room. Two I like the ramp up and down transition. But biggest corals are looking so good since I have been running them with all channels at 100 and turning the lights down. Not saying all blues are bad just more preference. I had all blues on another tank I had up but only was around that tank in the evening mostly

Speaking from experience (either own, have owned, or have seen in person) however I am not sure on the fluorescence of some of the SPS:

Purple Stylo
Green Slimer Stag
Green Bubble Coral
Green Star Polyps
Pink Birdsnest
Orange and Blue Ricordea
Dragons Breath Acro
BC Acroberry
Tyree Red Dragon
Green Euphyllia
Red, Green, and Purple Monti Cap
Superman Monti
Purple Stag
Blue Stag
German Blue Montipora Digitata
Purple Montipora Digitata
ORA Green Digitata
ORA Blue Bottlebrush Acro
Greg C Ultimate Eflo
Garf Bonsai

That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head at 10:30 at night

Could also add most acans, blastos and favias looks pretty good under daylight

Daylight is 5600K (sun overhead on a clear day). Daylight when the sunlight’s waves are dispersed through a heavy set of cloud cover is 6500-7000K. 9000K and up to 20,000K is attributed to the actual color of a clear blue sky (not the sunlight itself).
