I spotted this awesome piece in my LFS today and figured I have been dealing with ZOA's and palys for awhile and figured maybe try something new and I kinda like it. This was under LEDs but under my t5 / led frag tank this thing dropped my jaw!!! If somebody can I'd that would be awesome. Was told it was a bonsai. Thanks all!

Looks like a Bonsai (Acropora nana), much nicer then mine. Unfortunately mine snapped off the base and now I have 2 healing. They take forever to grow.

Thanks, maybe the guy was right lol. It was brown more under the LFS lights and was surprised when I got it home. I have a birds nest and green stag but was told they were very easy to have but this one was a step up to some nicer things.
 
That was a pic when I first got it while it was acclimating on the sand. It's more purple now but doesn't have near the pe that it once had. One piece in low in the tank in moderate flow and the top part that snapped off is up on top in high chaotic flow.
