Those purple polyps are known for browning out under intense lighting is why I asked above.

PS. I've only known 2 people who have ever ran 400's with zoas and plays. The coloration is/was stunning to say the least, but height of placement was vital.

At first there was a few issues, but, like you said placment is crucial with the 400's. Some did ok higher up in the center, mainly zoa's. my palys never did good higher up. I would say 90% are in the lower 2/3s of the tank and thats where I see the best results as far as growth and color.

First, I'd say you need a good macro lens, 60 or 105mm. I use a 105 but everybody is diffirent.
Also, always use a tripod and never shoot at an angle, shoot with the camera level to the subject and directly in front of it. That makes all the difference for me. Oh, and shoot in raw mode.
