Halloween aquarium lighting?

[rachara]

Hello,

I have a reef tank set up in a spot that is readily visible from the front door. With Halloween coming up, I thought it would be fun for trick or treaters to change the aquarium lighting to something like a spooky red. My questions are:

- Is this something that will be harmful for the corals and/or fish? This is just an idea for decorative purposes, but I have no interest in doing it if it's going to make my tank unhappy
- If this would be fine to do for an evening, then does anyone with good lighting knowledge have any recommendations on how to set the colors? I have an AI Prime HD if that helps.

Thanks!

Red lighting makes it so the fish can’t see you yet you see them, I recommend the ominous blue lighting (It is VERY spooky at night because it’s just this blue shining from the window at night) the other colours I do not know how they’d act with
