How about some of you vendors posting images of your corals for sale under full spectrum daylight (i.e., "white" light) so we can see what they'll really look like in our tanks most all day? I'll tell you, I'm reluctant to buy anything online anymore because corals never look even close to the WYSISYG pictures online when they come home. I bring a flashlight when I go to the LFS so I can see what they'll look like when the UV/blue spectrum is overpowered by daylight. After all, full spectrum daylight is what most corals would experience in nature. Another reason to run full spectrum light is simply that fish display better.

I'm not hopeful that anyone will be sympathetic to my request, but at least it's been said.
