Yeah. I think they go for $65 each at J&L.
Check out the other retailers' websites.

Its a good deal if you like the colour of Coralife bulbs. I have one and found it a bit yellow. I have switched to a Gieseman bulb, and have found it to be a world of difference. However, they are more than twice the money.

To my eyes it was yellowish. This was a six month old bulb, but if you like it, don't take what I feel as gospel. Gieseman bulbs are available from J&L.
