I've seen so many pictures of tanks, and the coolest ones are the ones when the corals pop out and almost look fake. Does anyone know how to achieve this look?

In real life or via photoshop? One is easy, the other isn't so easy...

More blue spectrum light usually helps.

Have great water parameters so the corals are as healthy as possible and then blast them with actinic/blue light.

It's not to say that these corals don't look stunning in real life, but a lot of these high resolution photos are by professional/semi-professional photographers that have very good equipment and photo editting skills.
