The person I bought this from wasn't good w/ remembering names. I'm not either but I like to pretend. I went to coralpedia but I think they require a login to use it. Its just another screen name/ password to forget in a week. Please excuse my big ole thumb ......

Haha thanks for lending your keen eye. For your efforts, if it cannot be identified, it will become Purple Corruption.

It looks like a bonzai but without knowledge of the lineage, would not say it was a "Garf" bonzai.

Thank you Jim, Eric, and Steve for the quick replies. I read up on some forums about Garf Bonsai and it does appear very similiar which is exciting. I did see a lot of people stating that true Garfs will become very deep puple and others are just tricolor validas (sp?). Mine has purpled up but I am still acclimating it to higher placement. So Justin, we might have a winner.

:shades: Impressive. Drop it off next time your in town and I will monitor them side by side. For comparison purposes of course. And who knows how long that could take :angel:

Well being that it is such a good deal.. I can't believe I still have several frags of these for sale??? :)

I think if you were to add an ID to some of the frags, you might have better luck. I saw three that look like they could be Bonsai's of some sort, not sure on the others. Some nice pieces in there though.

Definately some top notch coral at great prices. I really can't express how happy I am with my purchase.

If you could post a few pics of the mother colonies, we might be able to help with an ID.
