What corals look best in daylight?

[Cunning_plan]

Apologies if the topic has been covered ad nauseum... One end of my 180g gets daylight on it in summer. It's also the portion of the tank that's visible where you'd stand to do the cooking. I was looking for some some thoughts on what might show nicely.

For reference, the rest of the tank is lit at about 80% blue using red se reef led 90s.

Euphyllia, duncans, elegance, some leathers like toadstools and a few finger leathers.

ARe you looking for more sps, lps, softies, etc.?

It's a mixed reef so I'm flexible. I have almost all of those in the tank so could shift things around. The finger leathers especially could work.

Other than monti caps I couldn't think of many SPS.

I have outdoor frag tanks. 100% sunlight - Grafted Monti, WWC Slimeball Anacropora, Tyree Purple Petals Monti, Leng Sy Monti, Sanjoe Purple Milka Stylophora, Pohnapei Birdsnest, ORA Kelly Green Psmacorra - All of these thrive in sunlight and produce great colors. Add some blue light too them when the sun goes down and they look even better.

Purple stylos hold their color well under common daylight sources. They will also enjoy the extra light.

Forrest fire digis look brilliant as well along with neon green birdsnest.
