Acropora sp.

what is it unknown?

Well I was bored today and spent a good 30 minutes looking, but the closest I could find is Acropora Valida (for the "F&C" Purple Bonsai, unsure if thats the same), and Acropora nana with a question mark

yea I know ithink its alot rarer than most think. A. Validia has purple tips with green pyolps the well it could be a color morph. In any case I don't think anyone really knows . maybe when it gets larger it will be easyer to tell.

I dont think they know what it really is.

for some reason i thought i remembered that it was an acropora horrida?

Keep it low in the tank to keep the rich purple color... in high light it will go brownish purple.
