Well, the cameras built-in to phones are not designed to take pictures like that, especially with short-wavelength LEDs as the only light source. It will even throw DSLRs some trouble, but if you want them to turn out decent, you'll need a better camera.
 
There are several filters you can get which are basically sheets of plastic that filters out the blue light and accent the true colors. The is a person on manhatanreef.com that can get them for you. Name is MikeC.
