I have an LG G6. The lenses are in the middle. Do you know if the Poly Lab kit is compatible?

I would not be sure if the clip would reach the LG G6 camera, hopefully someone has tried and can report back.

Would you be able to recommend what to use on a DSLR lens?
I recommend no lens for DSLR. I have a series for DSLR here:

Want to take better aquarium pictures with your phone? With a mantis coral lens, an app called snapseed and this tutorial - you're set

on focus issues.. in generally i have issues with focusing on frags up close that are deeper or should say farther away from the front glass. on another note I have a similar product by Poly Lab? I think and it seems to adjust the colors...not perfect but pretty cool..

In order to have good focus you need to have your lens perpendicular to the glass.

Great tutorial! I’m new to Snapseed, so this was great. I love the fact that you don’t make the photo ridiculously over saturated. It’s just a nice bright pic that’s similar to the colors you actually see with the eye when taking the pic. Thanks!

Thank you, best part they started off as a 3 polyp donated club grow out. They blew around my tank for a couple weeks before I found and mounted them. This is 6 months later.

Try zooming in and then pressing on the spot of the screen where the coral is. Also, make sure the lens itself is super clean as this will affect the focusing.
