So who has the best colors?

Here's an Acro I've had for over 10 years. It's currently growing under a 250w Iwasaki and a 400w 14k Hamilton. It also receives lighting from VHO actinics and sunshine (from a skylight). I have a (relatively) high nutrient system (anemones are heavy eaters) and I don't use zeovit. This coral looks even more impressive under higher k lighting (alone).

When I think of great color SPS JBNY and Danano (TOTM) come to mind.

Jackson- You nailed it. The secret is out- big skimmers and good lighting. My MRC MR1 has made a big difference. I've also been dosing vodka to keep nutrients down. Here are a few of mine.

I'd love to be able to add, but can't get my cannon powershot G3 to pull out the true colors of my corals. Tried the whole coffee filter thing too and no luck.

It doesn't have to be from your tank. Think of an amazing coral from someone's tank and post a pic/name.
 
RC and URS member drtango is growing this beautiful pink Acropora millepora (or perhaps prostrata). The hot pink digitata to the left of it isn't too shabby, either. I've seen these corals in real life and the colors here are true.

WOW those digis are awesome! The hot pink digis always turn orange/red in my tank....I guess I feed too much :)
Don't feel bad- I got frags of those digis and they did the same thing for me!
