I've noticed post PE's appreciate blue spectrum. So it might not necessary mean low light. Which also goes for most Zoas. I think they keep their colors better under blues.

That's interesting. I know vendors prefer to display zoas and palys in general under blues for the actinic effect. Thinking about the days of china white and blue boxes, i wonder how much growth you'd get with just blues. I understood that you don't get as much par with blue light though, so in that sense, it is similar to low light. I could be wrong about the par though.

Someone do bbeb please... Had a hard time after fragging some. The ones in my frag tank did fine but in my display they melted. Maybe due to higher light/flow in the display.

Also some others to look into
Cherry blossoms
Promitheans
Orange oxides

Great Id thread too. I've gone through the whole thread and everyone is spot on with id. Lots of threads I see specifically for id purposes have a good deal of mistakes.
