Just wanted to share these pics. I was playing around with my UV flashlight tonight (actually looking for a nem that walked on me) and was stunned at the show some of the corals were putting on. Seriously, some of these guys are plain Jane during the day. Clearly they are glow-ers, not show-ers:D

If you look in the hole in the last pic you can see that even my wrasse's back end glows red! Although he was not happy about me shining a bright purple light into his sleeping spot:/ I ordered this light to take to frag swaps on ebay and it has also come in handy while searching for baby rock nems at night. Plus it was super cheap;)
 
Uv lights are fun at night! Haven't done that in quite sometime. Awesome photos!

Yes they are! Maybe it's time to have a look again, you never know what you will find! Post some pics if you do. Thank you, just my trusty phone and clip on macro lense:)

I had it so long that my buddy took the light back[emoji20] said he needed it for what it was bought for. But, I'm sure I can borrow it again soon!

I got mine for 99 cents on ebay;)
 
Well then I guess I'll have to buy one! I have an old picture on my old phone but it has no service to upload the picture with. I'll be sure to post some photos soon!
 
Cool:cool:
 
Here's a picture I shot using an Azurelite by Orphek.

Very cool, night time is where the action is:):)
 
Anymore flashlight adventures?
Not lately. With my new work schedule I am usually in bed before the light finish ramping down:( I will try and stay up late one of these days to see what all the new stuff I've added looks like at night;)

Sounds good!
Saw this thread down in the depths and figured I would bring it back up.
