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.
