Hello! This isn't technically "aquarium" related, but I've seen so many stunning aquariun inhabitant photos online, and most of them are taken with a macro-lense attachment on a smartphone, and soon I'd like to get one myself to display my little creatures in detail on my phone for family and friends. Now, I know almost nothing about macro lenses, and I'm not exactly sure what to look for. Is there any kind of variety, model, or type that I am supposed to get? Any brands/models you recommend? What kind of lense do you have yourself if you do? Tell me anything! I've done some research on the internet, but the information is too broad, and I want to see some personal recommendations, advice, and information in that regard. Happy reefing!
 
On Amazon there is some WiFi microscope cameras that can get some amazing shots for under $40. They go directly to your phone. Some examples:
