Just picked up this piece of Strawberry Shortcake acro from the LFS….they had just got it in through an SDC order. It was still in the bag floating in their frag tank and had been in there since earlier today.

I went against my better judgement of purchasing before seeing it out of the bag (they give 10% off livestock that hasn’t been unpacked). When I got it home and dipped it, I noticed it had a blue coloration under my living room incandescent light. Here it is post-dipping, in my tank. Should I be concerned about this coloration?
 
Either way looks like a nice piece
Hoping the darker coloration is just a result of it being heavily shaded in the tank it came from vs. some other issue from shipping.
