I can only see this when the blues are on... during the day I do see the red but it looks like red coraline maybe red algae? But under the blues I see the gold circle looks like a mouth? I really don't know. Video is not great I will try to get a better shot later with my DSLR.

 
Is it gone in the morning?
 
Would like to see a daytime pic, as well. It appears you have a pseudocorynactis. They're relatively tiny, and translucent under normal lighting, which makes them nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. With blue light, however, the tips of the tentacles glow. As for the red, it may be coralline; I've had it start as red or even green, then change to blue or purple once it was established.

I think you are correct... I looked closely today with the blues just barely on and I could make it out.

Thanks
