Real UV, if you have it, can also make a couple of pigments fluoresce.
Depends on what you mean by UV. A lot of the big name LED systems refer to light above the magical 400nm mark as UV, when they're actually indigo/violet.

Your issue is the whites at 10%
I have 16hd and also reefbreeders led
Use light blue, dark blue, uv only, around 80% each with kraken coral viewing glasses for max pop in person
To photograph this and capture this look, use a lens kit or hold the glasses up to the camera lens
Check out my tank thread. All my pictures are this way. With my lights this way, all the corals look this way in person just like the phoyos
Also, blue won’t encourage algae. White and red spectrum encourage algae. I run full blues 80-90% of the day/night
