    Is your lighting T5?

    if so, I could arrange those images for you
    I have 6 lamps, of which 2 are Actinic

    I could take pictures with the actinics off 1st and then take pictures with them on

    then you should be able to see overall colour change

    If you have a lot of white the actinics won't be too obvious except for the greater fluorescence of your corals.
