Does it look more like this?
Looks like you just have 50/50 bulbs in your lights. They really don't do the corals justice.

That definitely is closer to the color...maybe a little less blue.

I have full spectrum Apollo LEDs.....it's the camera!....a Canon point-n-shoot that was "white balanced."

Yup, they are really nice little rainbows but you just cant see it in that picture under LEDs. Originally I was going to put them in an 80 SPS tank in my home office but it has way too much flow and I'm told by the vendor I got them from, probably too much light (giesemann w / 2 250 mhs& T5s) and not enough nutrients to keep them colored up. However, it is cool to sit here at work and view them.
