Was given this a while back at a swap met and they didnt know what it was . It's very blue with green polyps.

My first guess would be a Cali Tort. Could also be Miyagi Tort, but my Miyagi is more purple and my Cali is blue.
 
Neither A. Tortuosa nor A. Austera have polyps that look like that - those are the two that are called "torts" most commonly in the hobby. Would need a more clear and less blue photo to identify it better.

Some sort of Bonsai is pretty close, but it is not OG GARF Bonsai, IFAICT.

Thank you everyone one for responding. You all rock. Hopefully this pic will help some .

I see some Tort in that piece. Whatever it is it really needs to grow more for a better chance of getting the correct ID.

Agreed on grow out, its has some tort characteristics, but I'd guess gomezi before tortuosa for how rounded/puffy the radials look.

However, I have yet to see an Incipient axial development or a top down axial corallite shot.
Hmm,
Part of me wants to see an axial corallite before I even want to say I'm 100% sure it's even acropora, lol
