Question for Cherry Corals acans owners

[perryxcore]

I was curious as to how the amazing acans from Cherry Corals colours hold up under
1- metal halides
2- leds

and if any owners have pictures of their cherry coral acans under this lighting I would love to see pics to see how they look.
This thread is not intended to sound like a doubt of vendors representation as I know from personal experience cherry corals colours are true to pic especially when put under similar T5's I just would like to know/see what they look like with the acans in other lightings.

-also if you've owned them for longer than 2-3 months that is a great plus to what I'm looking for

The acans I got from Todd under T5's are very close. The colors pop under my aquatic life fixture with stock bulbs.

Fiery Depths, one of my personal favorites because of the polyp size and the fact that the centers are almost always visible.

I would like to see some pics too, maybe some of the Tokyo Tart owners can post up.

Lots of other factors are to be considered besides just lighting !! Colors can Morph, fade or change under the same lighting in different tanks!! Water Parameters and Nutrient levels along with a few other things can be a large factors i believe.
ie... I cut a colony in half one time kept in same tanks at different levels of light and one morphed to look totally dif in about 3 months U would have never believed it was the same coral !!

I don't run MH or LED's but I still want to share a quick pic I just snapped of a group of Cherry Corals acans. My light didn't turn on full daylight yet so just actinic t5's here

Thanks Todd and Brett! You guys rock!!!

We had a solid green turn into what we now call Roswell Project. Acans really are amazing.

You should see my Roswell Project def in my top 3 all time acans. Mine turned orange but still has those tiger stripes Truly amazing!

Got this as a single polyp in January, they have grown awesome and kept the same polyp size (1.5-2") but colors have morphed slightly. Been under pure LEDs for the past 9 months

Here is what it looked like on the site

Here is my shot

Awesome polyps, but Acans will be Acans.

First of all Cherry has the most amazing acans. Under my LEDs(Evos), the red in my acans all turned orange. Now they're back under T5's and the red is coming back.
