Acropora valida -one of my favorite coral. I would expect more of a deep purple/bluish tint for this to be the Garf Bonsai, but it very well could be.

Super beautiful coral either way.

It's not Garf if's a mari, might be something similar but it wouldn't have any named lineage coming from a mari farm. It's A. Valida or A. Secale.

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
