Got this small frag (More of a "chip") that was accidentally fragged for a few bucks last week, and it looks incredible.

 

Really dark purple with green polyps- I'm thinking Garf Purple Bonsai, but am not sure if the corallites match up.

Garf purple bonsai acro. Unless miss kat says otherwise lol

Only thing is that the corallites face outward and surround the polyps. It isn't the cup shaped corallite facing upward

I have a garf bonsai in my tank and it does look slightly different than this. I also have another unknown Acro in my tank that looks identical to this. Who knows. Regardless nice pick up for five bucks!!! Hopefully it's starts encrusting quick!! They tend to do that when cut before they start growing up again.

I picked up a LOT of acros for $5 to $10 each recently- check out the most recent photoshoot ;)

 

I hope it grows quickly :bowdown::scarry: - I LOVE :wub: that dark purple!

That could be a purple bonsai. Garf bonsai refers to lineage. Since you can't confirm the lineage you can't call it a gaff bonsai.

 

A purple bonsai and a garf bonsai fetch different money amounts. This is because lineage. Also garf will be most vibrant colors and live longer given the same water quality.

 

I had both I paid 35 for a maricultured purple bonsai that died in a year and was 20x the size frag of garf I purchased.
