Purple Green polyp Acro ID

OrionN

Moved on
I am a veterant reefkeeper and have keep a lot of SPS. How ever I rarely try to ID Acro down to the species. I do have a very nice SPS but cannot ID it either as species or as a named cultivar. I really appreciate anybody who can help ID this very beautiful bright purple with bright green polyps Acro. Lighter purple at tip with white terminal polyps. This guy really like a lot of flow and very bright light. It is one of the most purple Acro that I have. Much more purple than the Purple monster I got years back.
I have had this guy for at least 10 years. I forgot how I first got it. Likely just an garden variety Acro that I traded with other reefer. It was not much of a looker when I got it but have really blossom to a very handsome Acro.
Here is a bad phone picture under Radion G2 Max output on all color.
Much brighter purple and much brighter green under live condition, that does not get capture by my phone camera well.

That looks like a Purple Bonsai. I also live in corpus christi, Did you trade a frag of this to Aquarium Masters about a year ago?
 
Yes. Eric said somebody pick it up right away. I don't think it is Purple Bonsai. It sure is beautiful however. I will name it CC purple. I got it as a very dap coral
 
Andrew,
I think you are right. It is a Purple Bonsai. I did a search on immageo of Purple Bonsai, and mine looks just like the pictures I found.
Thanks
 
I'll take a shot at it..Garf Bonsai or Copps Bonsai. Looks more like Copps but not sure if that one has lineage back to when you first got it. Beautiful piece.
 
vuqchu,
I am pretty sure it is a GARF Purple Bonsai. There are lots of picture online of GARF Bonsai, not much of Cobbs Bonsai. The whole colony and the branch structure looks like a GRAF Purple Bonsai.
