No question you should shoot on a tripod, i just hate the all blue look. Corals have some really subtle coloration and I prefer that to seeing something that looks like it has been spray painted for a funhouse.
I used a grey target in different sections of my tank to have wb reference.

Respectfully disagreeing with Ian here
Use a tripod, and absolutely shoot in RAW..
Then in post processing... you have to really push the yellow white balance WAY up. The following pictures were shot under 100% Deep Blue LED light
Here is straight out of the camera:
Here is after massive white balance adjustment. This is what it looks like in real life too..
not that it deals with the camera shooting or anything, i don't know much about that, but keep in mind that ricordea has a dive lamp shining on it and is most likely hidden away in a rock/ crevice so they do look much dimmer in waters 25+ feet deep, in my experience.This is my opinion for what it's worth.
Ricordia in nature:
yep. I've posted a few videos, they should be under recently started threads.Very true lbiminiblue. And that dive light is showing the true color of the coral. I'm guessing you're a diver too.
