Who sells it? What species is it?

Common names are worthless in most cases.

They are a wholesale company out of LA. They bring in mariculture corals as well as Farm corals to sell to LFS.

I have a 2" frag that I got from a guy in a local club. It grows fairly quick and has good PE. I'll take a pic when I get home.

I though so at first but it colors up different under the right conditions. The red planet should be vibrant red to almost a pink with no other color if it gets enough light or it will get a green base to it. The fire garden has a greenish base with orangish red polyps.
