Coral Color Additives What Do You Use?

[Bearjohnson]

I was talking to friend and he mentioned that there are several coral color enhancing additives on the market that will really make your colors POP!

I was wondering what some people think and use (if any) and what the results are before and after.

Acro power is a new one. I use the salifert coralline amino acids. Can't say good or bad at this point

Easter Egg dye

Paul B isn't that far off. Over the years there have been cases of live corals being dyed to look better. This isn't so common any more but can still happen. Sort corals were often used. If you see a common coral that is in a very unusual looking solid color that just doesn't look quite right, suspect dyeing. Long term such corals usually die so avoid them.

As for additives to enhance coral color, I only use good lighting and high quality water.
