Okay here is my issue, I have a Nikon D3000 with the stock 18-55mm Lens.
I have tried everything with white balance and nothing helps, it either looks washed blue or purple, and I end having to photoshop colors back to the coral and it's a pain.
Any help? Reds seem okay but blues, oranges, greens, etc. just suck.
 
i have the same problem,i used to take great pics under halides or T-5 but cant get a good pic under my LED's to save my life.

+1 my led pics either turn out solid purple or have weird color separations. I would love to capture how the corals actually appear to the human eye.
 
I have a D3100 and have been dealing with the same issue...it is extremely hard to take pics with all blue leds. Are you using a tripod? Are you making sure all other lights are turned off? Just these two things have helped me out some. Cbort gave me a these notes for the D3100 maybe it could help for yours - Guide Mode-->Shoot-->Advanced Operation-->Bring More into focus-->F14-->More Settings-->Next-->Flash Mode-->Slow Sync + red-eye-->ISO Sensitivity-->1600.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
