Someone needs to tell vivid about fluconazole.
Bryopsis?

so if you're buying the coral in person and it's all blue lights, what's the proper etiquette? do you politely ask them to turn on white lights? And if they do, and it's ugly, then what? awkward!
I've wondered that myself so often: are there really reefers that run their tanks on blue only for the whole day? And does it actually grow coral?

Jamie, I always ask to have the spectrum changed to more white. I have changed my mind after they do that too. Anyone selling is completely aware that they may loose the sale. Its the way it is.

I've been through all lights and enjoy the blue spectrum like most in the hobby do. That prob why most vendors are catering their displays to noobs like me. That way I see what corals will look like at home. To each their own. Used to be collectors brought blue led flashlights to view corals. Now you will need to bring a white flashlight. It's 2021, everything is reversed now.

Haha, I've got a multi-color LED flashlight which can do both blue and white. Heck, it also has green and red, maybe that will be 2022 and 2023!
I like the new expensive corals that fluoresce under blue LEDs and I like the older acros which look good under white light. So my photoperiod starts out with only Blue XHO LEDS then the Blue+ T5s kick in and then the white T5's kick. So I get to see the corals under all different spectrums, Blue LED, 20k and white day light. Best of all worlds and all acros new and old.
