Brown turd from LFS

[SamMule]

Just thought I would share this piece I got from my LFS a couple of months ago. His tank was going through some issues and he gave me this to see if I could save it. No idea what it is, but I'm starting to really like it!
11/23: maybe a week after I got it. Was completely brown. Now a little green starting to show through.

Today:
Purple body with green swirls all over. Brownish polyps Some have green center.
New growth is bright purplish blue and some of the corallite tips are turning yellow!

Anyone know of a similar named piece? Closest I can find is Shades of Fall, but I don't think that's it. Had my SoF frag next to it for awhile. Didn't look like the same acro to me.

Definitely not a hawkins. That is a smoothie. I had that one.
Got knocked into the sand a couple months back and I didn't notice. Sadly didn't make it.

Tricolor Valida IMO.

That was my first acro back in the Dy. Nice pickup.

That looks similar. Will be interesting to see how it turns out!

I think A. Valida was the right call for sure. The thing is growing like an absolute weed! However, it has lost some of that green accent in the higher light. Will moving it a bit lower bring them back?
