Got this guy today and not sure what it is, sorry for blue pics but spent all of daylight catching an angelfish. Color is blue and purple with white polyps if that helps. Thought it might be loripes when I ordered it because of vendor pics, but I don't think it is seeing it in person. It was just listed as purple acro.

I looked at some pics of turakis last night, it looks very similar. It is different then hawkins (colors are different and branches are a little thicker I think). This one is mostly purple, I have a Hawkins frag coming Tuesday I can look at side by side to fully confirm. I read that the Hawkins can turn purple under really bright light though so who knows. I'm gonna move this guy to higher light saturday since what I read about turakis is the more light the better.

A. turaki can vary from a light green to purple. I am only guessing turaki so far because of the branches and axial corallites. To be a little more certain, it will have to grow out so we can see the over all structure and the way it grows.
