Yup WC from Malaysia. I notice only malaysian specimen will have this blue tone, not even thai blue which are abundant in our local lfs display such intense blue at this size.

Lump wise I not sure whats the size easier to see. i would go for slightly above 7"-8".
I'm keeping mine in a dark background tank, some DW and gravel. Make sure tank big enough.
