I am around 3.5 months back into reefing and want to take progression picture of my tank and corals.
So I was wondering what phone camera lens do you guys recommend? mainly looking for the kinda best bang for the buck lens that will improve the picture but not cost a fortune.

Using galaxy s10 on pro and manual settings for contrast saturation ect, no filter needed i added both full spectrum and blues settings to show it can do both.

No camera can filter out the blue light, on its own. You'll need to place a yellow / orange filter over the lens.

You can place a pair of yellow viewing glasses over your lens, in a pinch. I actually used this method, with an iphone 6, to film all of the close up coral shots in the video below.

I recently purchased the Polyp Lab, Coral View Lens. It's a bit expensive for what it is, but makes taking a larger batch of pictures a bit easier than using the glasses.

I am using the Samsung Note10+ with an orange filter lens. Using in Pro mode/10k WB adjusted the saturation. It's work in progress

I don’t have strong blue light so I can’t grab any macro shots right now, but here’s some pictures I took at the lfs. I’ve just been using brown sunglasses, they all seem to work pretty well. These can easily be further edited from a phone, I have an iPhone and I
just use the tone adjuster in the photo editor. IMO it works about as good as the filter lenses you can buy
