+1 for adjusting colors. My two cents - shoot in RAW and set the color temp in software.

Shoot in raw.
Turn off your pumps while shooting macro shots.
Use remote with tripod.

Takes a few hours of playing around the changes can be amazing!

I do shoot in RAW and just got Lightroom. Here's a couple new ones.

Those two are much better. On the second one, I'd either stop down the aperture a bit or get another angle if you can. The out of focus branches in front are a little distracting. Very nice shots, though, and beautiful corals.
