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.

Here it is tonight.

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.
