Since we love to share photos of our fish and corals, it can always be frustrating when we can't get a good picture of something we love. Lighting and cameras can obviously change the look of a coral very quickly and no matter how good you are at photoshop can't bring it back to normal. I have had very good luck shooting most of my fish and corals in my display with the LEDs, unfortunately for me I am terrible in the frag tank which of course has most of my nicest corals. For some reason, I can't get good shots under the T5s.
After joining a few groups on Facebook I saw a guy talking about lighting gels and he was posting amazing pics with just a cellphone, $20 clip on macro and a lighting gel. I reached out to him and ordered them, I figured what's the harm it was $5 shipped for a bunch of the gels. So I finally went down into the basement and shot these photos just with my Iphone and the the gels:
