Ok... 

So I am looking for a pink setosa but have been reading in a few places throughout the web that some people say that a pink setosa is simply a red setosa that has been acclimated to/under intense or perhaps even intense actinic lighting.  Can anyone tell me about these guys, I want to get a pink setosa frag and have someone willing to cut me a piece of a red so should I get the red and make it pink with my LED's or are there really red AND pink setosa that are actually not simply the same coral under different lighting conditions (after acclimation etc).  

THANKs.
I know nothing of these corals, it will be my first setosa... just getting bored of the other growth forms and these look cool and the pink looks outstanding but most of the pics I see are pretty actinic biased so I dont know whats going on at all.

I had a very small frag that my Conch Snail tipped over and killed !!!  DOH! 

EVERYTHING is now glued down to heavy rock!  HAHAHA... 

The snail is hilarious, so I guess good enough...  We named him Gary in honor of Sponge Bob
