the red lens I don't think will help for what she's trying to do. The answer is white balance.

Best way is a custom white balance if your camera is capable of it. If you can not then you can try and post edit it.

I use to put a white piece of paper on the back of my tank and take a picture of it and use that as my custom white balance.

Most of the pictures you see with people taking pics of zoas and such are edited like photo shopped. Its there true colors but the bad effects of the pictures are edited out and the colors are brightened up
