I can't figure out how to take pics of rainbow colored corals. They always turn out blurred.
 
Looks great! I have a particular acan that I cannot get a good picture of and its up front just about 4" from the glass. LOL.

The blue lights totally throw off the cameras! It drives me crazy.
 
Canon EOS 50D
Just started shooting in RAW and using photoshop. I was shooting in jpeg and adjusting blue manually with little success.

Adjust your white balance in camera settings. I can't remember Canon's menu tree, but there is an option to set it manually. Take a photo of something WHITE under the blue lights of your reef tank. You can do the sand if the sand is consistent in color. A piece of printer paper also works. Take the photo until the camera sets that w/b as the preset. Remember to use that when you take the photo under your lights and don't forgot to change it when you shoot regularly. :tea:
