Your colors are nice [emoji7]
On your lights, I had a question or two.

Really nice photos. I have the Canon Mark IV with a 100mm macro which is similar to your set up but I have never been able to shoot under such heavy blue light and maintain the color like you have. I wonder if it's just your awesome corals or your post processing skills. Mind sharing your light settings and post processing settings like software, WB settings, profile settings ect.
I'm curious too since I just got a DSLR and a macro lens. I haven't tried to take blue pics yet so any advice is appreciated. You have amazing photos!

It really depends what DSLR you have. Nikon have horrible sensors when it comes to blue light which is why I use Canon.
The camera can process out the blues just fine no need for post editing. I would read through the WB section of your camera's manual and just practice practice practice.
I can shoot under whites and they will look just about the same but I personally like the blues much better.

Thanks so much for the tips! I sadly picked up a Nikon so I guess I will see some post processing in my future!

I would get some type of white light to help the sensors out or just do a percentage of white light and shoot in RAW it'll be easier to process

The plan currently is to try raw out and give it a go. I'm an absolute newb to cameras so its been a fun learning process.

Get lightroom, its not as much of a pain in photoshop and you can do things that I'm sure most would like to do i.e mess with exposure
