Coral Fluorescence Coral fluorescence is one of the topic which puzzles me greatly. The florescent proteins and zooxanthellae density are all well studied. But what we do in the hobby, or rather, what works in our hobby, is not well explained by the science behind coral fluorescence. I will attempt to compare the science with practice, then perhaps we can see if there is any missing pieces of the puzzle. Coral Fluorescence in Hobby When it comes to reef keeping hobby, the ways to achieve good fluorescence for corals, especially SPS corals, are well established. We start with water containing very low level of nitrate and phosphates. Then we attempt to keep the pH high, and the "big 3" elements stable. Next, we use intense light and vigorous flow. Finally, we feed the coral, with planktonic mix, amino acids, and dose trace elements to achieve shining color. For most of us, this works well. Some of these factors are easy to understand. Having stable water parameter close to the reef environment definitely reduce stress for the corals. Giving suitable food in the form of planktons and amino acids ensure corals have sufficient nutrients. The intense light encourage the formation of florescent proteins to protect the coral. All these are well and good. The problem is with the trace elements. On one hand, dosing trace elements (such as FM colors, Redsea ABCD) leads to improvements in coral color for me (and many others); on the other hand, the idea that trace elements is needed by the corals to form florescent proteins is highly debatable. In the next post I will list down some facts, maybe one day we can truely know the mechanism of coral fluorescence.

It's good to tell if it is injured so people can evaluate if they still want it for the price.
