Much appreciated! I am using a Olympus tough tg5 and I use a orphek orange filter held on with rubber bands I have it set in microscope mode with a 2 second timer so I can hold steady with two hands under water.

Good to know this is possible, I was looking at the Olympus TG-6 and the SeaLife Micro 3.0... Both seem to be great cameras!

The Olympus seems to be a well built camera, I believe the TG-6 has some more functionality. It would be great if wifi worked under water, it would be a lot easier to use both hands for bracing and have someone else press the shutter remotely on my phone this function works great out of water

I think the meteor shower cyphastrea in the fist photo turned out the best simply because it’s in a good spot and angle near the top of the tank where I can brace the camera.

I was thinking about these cameras for macro underwater video/photos: Olympus TG-6 or TG Tracker, GoPro 9, Nikon W300, or Panasonic LUMIX.

Would be nice to get some fellow reefkeepers’ recommendations

I wouldn't go with the GoPro (unless they have incorporated Optical Zoom rather than just digital), they are great action cameras and are made to do many things, but shooting in tight environments or wanting to get close to something is not their strong suit. The rest of them are all good cameras... I'd go with the Olympus if it was me, both Nikon and Panasonic have bigger reputations than Olympus, so, at least some of what you spend for them is a name, I think you'll get more for y our money by going with Olympus personally...
