Bowerbankis coloration

[WhitePanther93]

So I purchased a couple of bowerbankis off of the latest wwc live sale. As far as I’m aware care wise they’re basically a more aggressive micromussa lord. But what I also read is that the lighting that they’re under can cause color change. I purchased an emerald and a blue hole. What kind of light do I have to keep them under to get:

this is the blue hole:

The emerald:

I know wwc has crazy photo taking(maybe shopping) but, Anyone who has these particular corals what do you keep them under to get the best colors out of them?

From my experience WWC has pretty true colors on their website as long as you also have radeon lights. They do usually have higher nitrates and feed very often which helps with colors.

I have a kessil a360x and some reef brites over my tank. Not sure how that translates.

If they are the actinic reefbrite those have a really good blue spectrum for coral pop. So it may look slightly different but not a whole lot.

They are indeed actinic.

I think you will be pretty happy with the color from the reefbrites then. You can throw some violet in from the a360x too. You should post some pictures of what they look like when they arrive and acclimate.

They arrived early due to an order that was scheduled for today.

only been in the tank for a bit so they’re not puffed up and happy looking yet, but I’ll send a later update picture when that happens but for now:
