Is this a bonzai?

I have it 11 inches from my t5's, is that too close?

In many areas its becoming orange. Is that the first signs of bleaching?

Here is a picture taken 3 weeks back when I first got it.

As you can tell my photography skills have gotten slightly better since (thoe still lacking haha).

So hard to get responses from RC these days. I guess this hobby is losing some of its luster .

It is probably starting to color up, most of the ones I have seen like this will get some blue tips.

"Bonsai" originally comes from the "GARF Bonsai"

The definition of a "Bonsai" has evolved into loosly, a purple valida/nana type with small green polyps, that is either solid purple sometimes tricolor.

Here are some more examples:

Because I have seen this confused frequently, and the poor definition, I avoid using it myself.
