What's your tank setup like? When I hear colors like that I think SPS.

I mean what's your flow, lighting, and perams like? What fish load, and what filtration system?

Do you have a setup that can maintain SPS coral?

Oh....geessh that is to much typing...LOL.... I am real lazy right now LOL. Assume all is great and perfect (knock on wood). My lighting is 4 95 watt 10 K (2 actin/2 daylight) biulbs and no I do not have a setup that can keep the color of SPS coral unless that color will be brown
