Haha that's exactly what I have. Have you started using pro mode?

Yup. My troubles come when I start messing with the Speed and ISO. I have also been playing with the filter lenses that came in the kit you can attach on the phone https://orphek.com/reef-aquarium-lens-kit/

In the most recent photo I posted, I used none of that. Just the normal picture mode, and no lenses. The thing I did here was literally press my phone against the glass so it did not move/shake from my hand and that was all.

Hey I'm glad you posted I forgot to finish some advice! If you zoom in as far as you can and then manually focus in on the area you want in focus. Then zoom back out your pictures will look really sharp! Having the flow off really helps with this as well.

I suck at pics,,, just using iPhone with clip-on filter, but will say this:
I get clearer pics shooting top-down through a cheapie "coral viewer" (from Amazon) than through the front glass.

Better yet, get something like a ferrero roche top lid and peel the sticker and voila
