It may be a lighting thing. You see the rainbow coloring when you shine a light on it from the side. The first 2 might just be blue xenia not cespitularia not sure based on the pics.

From what I hear, it takes a good 2 to 3 months for it to really establish, fluff up and color up nicely.

I agree with the last post. Mine are growing more and more and the "hands" are coming out now. It took a 1.5 months+ to get to this point and they still have a ways to go but are looking more like they are supposed to week after week. I bought a relatively large piece of them for an exorbidant price from a top well known online seller (my most expensive coral yet), so I am sure they are what they are supposed to be.

Same coral, the photos with the sparklies are taken with a flash. the photos at the top are w/o flash, and more or less how they normally look in a tank. though they can look a little more blue than that in person.
