Which (fish) colors shine under actinics?

[hyperge]

Tried to figure out how the actinics spectrum (LED, probably 20k) would influence which fish colors excel compared to a mix of white and blue LEDs, but experience is probably more helpful in this regard.

What are your observations?
Would be nice to know in my planning stage (currently 0 fish) as during the week I will not see more than the tank under actinics...

My clownfish glow under actinics and moonlights. Their white stripes look like they're neon the cleaner shrimp looks neat too.

My Coral Beauty has amazing "popping" colors under actinics
The McCosker's Flasher Wrasse is quite a show too!! :bounce3:

Edit:
I use to own a Blue Hamlet that also was Brilliant under Actinics.. so gorgeous!!
There are lots of corals that "glow" too

great, keep them coming!

I am also interested on how specifically the colors of yellow and blue assessors perform under actinics...

For me, it was my chromis. They turn into a very bright blue color.

My orchid dottyback glows bright purple under actinics.

my dotty back goes from yellow/blue to yellow/purple. It's like having 2 fish.

blue spot jawfish looks good under actinic

Seeing the positive posts, it would probably also help to collect fishes/fish colors that do not well under actinics.
