Funnily enough its not my Cornbred mummy eye. I think it would have to be my blastos I got from Mitch, brightest green under actinics but hardly compares to my CBME when the halides are on. Strange.
 
Ahh the infamous green slimer, brightest dang acro in the world!
 
Well, specifically with 460nm powerbrites, a red chalice, a solid green chalice (JF highlighter), BB wildfire chalice, and pink tube anemone are the brightest. Oh, florida rics are pretty darn bright under these too!

Acros don't do much under these, and fish are gray. Definitely a different wavelength than the actinic VHO's I used to use back in the day, that made my fish glow....

Under the regular halides, the green Euphyllia, red chalice and turquoise prostrata are the brightest.

I have a tri color valida that while the body does nothing under actinics, the polyps glow amazingly.
 
Oh I forgot some new noname pink chalice.. brighter than any other chalice I've ever seen...too bad it is only one solid color.
 
I had one of those, brighter than any of the pink chalices, like you said, unfortunately it was one color. That being said, I should have called it "Pink Glowstick" and sold it for 200 an eye.
 
Scolys are beautiful, I would love to get a masterpiece scoly at some point before I die.

That's exactly right...pink version of the glowstick...

Bad pic of mine...the PnS camera has a hard time with the 30" tall tank...

I think my BGM and orange yumas glow the brightest, but some of my other chalices, zoas, and appleberry monti and close seconds.
 
I think my Widowmaker chalice is the brightest thing in my tank. It's mostly pink/red right now, but I can see the rest of the colors coming in.

I would love to see a pic of this widow maker chalice of yours, sounds intriguing.

The pic totally sucks...between the lower exposure, and the distance to the floor of my tank, the camera just messes it up. It is BRIGHT pink...hence the bleeding color in the shot :ooh:
