    Actually, if it's true "blue xenia", it's not really overpriced. Not that I'd pay that much for a soft coral but if you search "blue xenia" on Google, you'll see that the going price is pretty high.

    This might be a stupid Q, but could that just be the actinics and no other lighting trick? Luna

    true blue xenia is kinda pricey. $65 is around the going rate of it as mentioned before.

    Sure, or Photoshop but if you buy from a "reputable" dealer, that shouldn't be an issue. :)

    Probably not blue xenia. If it is, he's underpriced it :)
