Best color for viewing bot coral and fish?

[WhitePanther93]

The title says it all really. Obviously corals look amazing under lots of blue, but i want my fish to look there best as well.

I have a kessil A360 x and This thing over my tank.
What spectrum / color would you recommend for a nice balance for coral and fish viewing?

Whatever spectrum your eyes like honestly.

More white for viewing fish

I agree it is a personal preference and depends on the fish. My Queen angel looks great under the blues. I like how the corals glow under the blues, but for the majority of my cycle I run more white and feel the corals look more natural.

The blues make the corals look like something from the Batman movies with black lights. Lol.

General rule: Set the blue spectrum (violet, hyper violet, royal blue, blue, cyan) with enough intensity for photosynthesis and pigment expression (a PAR meter is helpful), then add in the whites to please your eye. If your fixture has red and green channels, use them sparingly.
