I use a Polyp Lab Scope.

Scope

The Scope, not just another flashlight... the polyplab scope. A 420-nanometer blue reef light that is compact enough to fit in your pocket and runs on only one double A battery. Enables you to see the natural bioluminescence of your corals. Specifically designed to watch your corals night feed...

Any red lens flashlight will work. If you don't have a red lens version, then just wrap some red plastic wrap around the lens of a regular flashlight. The red light is less disturbing to tank inhabitants.

Yeah, I use red LED flashlights and they work great at night. No fish/inverts seem to notice them.

I'm only using them because I have a bunch (since my main hobby is astronomy/telescopes and red light doesn't destroy your night vision in the dark).

You could use one of these $11 headlamps (with just the red on) and have hands-free viewing:

I hate to kill the idea of buying something, but honestly I just use the flashlight on my cellphone when I need to take a quick look.
