When the actinics make corals glow...

Rate this Entry
I'm not going to show you the actual actinic picture because it will be dark, blue and essentially not of much interest. But somehow I need to document how this one montipora's transition from healthy to sick and back to health is a wonder to observe.

Here's the coral in the bottom left corner of a picture taken in August.

The main area of the coral is displaying hints of green too, but overall you'd think brown with a green rim. I believe this is actually supposed to be green with a purple rim. More to look forward to, right? In the meantime, I love the actinic period each evening.

    I suspect its going to end up brown/purple/blue with a green rim and perhaps even another edge colouration. There is such a variety of colours, especially on the left side.
