At the middle of the 19th century British Scientist Sir George G. Stokes first discovered that Fluorspar ( a mineral) displays a bright pigment when lit by Ultraviolet light. The word Fluorescence was born.
In short when Atoms take in energy at certain wavelengths it then rapidly releases that energy and when that energy is in a VISIBLE wavelength it is seen as Fluorescence.
In the aquarium hobby we use Actinic Light or Deep Blue LEDs as the energy source or "EXCITER" to enhance the corals fluorescence.
This image is an example of what one can expect with an "EXCITER" filter for photography.
This image is NOT enhanced. It is shot and processed as a normal RAW image with only Black level adjustments.
What you are seeing is the fluorescence of the coral captured with An Exciter filter and a Barrier filter. A system developed by Dr. Charles Mazel
This coral is a dull green and brown with the naked eye under T5 bulbs
