Dude......I have to say I will give you more credit when the photo's are taken and edited the same. You can tell there is way more blue in the photo's taken in sept vs. august. In fact in that acro shot the background and frag plug are blue.
I don't know if this was intentional but can you try and take them with the same settings etc.

Darryl... thank you...for the correction and input
this picture taken by underwater camera with the same setting (macro, no flash, underwater mode). the camera (Olympus mju725SW) cannot take a good picture in condition more blue lighting. need more SLR camera to take the real color. I only attach this acro in LR. in august acro not glue yet in LR, but in sept i glue on LR. may be next week i will take more picture to see the real color of this acro.
ID please...
i get 2 corals from my friend, totally brown. hope will recover the real color under this LED

Im so glad I have a buddy doing all led's close by cause pictures on the net are just not cutting it when trying to show coral color with poor cameras...its just soooooooooo saturated in the blue scale and of course we as reefers aquaint flourecence with "good color" so of course they look betterish' to us.
I have no doubt they look nice in real life but their real color is still eluding us imo. I mean I use led actinics and they will flourece a coral somethin fierce but that same over saturation isnt there when my halide kicks on.
I hate sounding like a led hater cause im not. at all

chris, all the picture take by my underwater camera "Olympus 725SW".
this camera very bad under blue lighting. i try to take the picture in normal mode or other white balance and still get blur picture. i really need advise, how take a picture with simple pocket camera.... because i only have it, and i just want to share my acro change from brown to blue under my DIY LED.

yeah I understand. I wasnt saying anything negative about you or your tank. Its obvious youre getting good color in your tank, its just that sharing them on the web is tough when you cant show what they "really" look like. I know just from trying to take actinic only pics of my tank with a decent camera, it all washes out and over saturates like what youre posting...I dont know that there is a way to take good photos with a point and shoot camera with led lighting. Im interested to know myself.
