What kind of light did we get from Baymac?

So if found the little key chain light we got from the baymac bags, and tried it in my tank. It really made my corals glow especially the favia and to my suprise my cyphastrea. The cyphastrea I have started out as orange body and orange mouths, the body has since changed color or lost color to be more pale blueish kind of like meteor shower but without the extended polyps but with that little light the body glows bright, it doesn't glow under my actinic lights.

The picture I attached isn't great, but it shows that it glows.

It's a wave length close to what people call actinic. It's just more concentrated. Ask Tony, I bet he'll explain it a lot better then this :lol:
 
heh. You can think of it as Gresham said as more concentrated. Basically, the LED emitts ONLY a small wavelength section of light. It only emits the actinic purple color and nothing else. No green, no red, no yellow. This is why you get such strong actinic fluorescence contrast.
 
I was thinking more focused when I said concentrated. I didn't even think of that aspect :)
