Agreed looks like a garf... Where did it get it's name?

Thanks guys. This acro was grown out by Kip, a local oldschool reefer, for years and then was passed around for several years. This guy is also a super fast grower. I lost my mini colony a while back and was actually able to get a frag back about month or so ago. Thanks CJ!

The new growth has a nice purple to it and polyps are a bright neon green but the base has the normal tricolor look. I believe it is an acropora nana.

I thought it was a valida?

I believe it is an A. valida, as is the Garf Bonzai.

 

[AcroholicReefer]

hum, I always thought this was a nana for some reason. The species are really close though. So, this is a Garf Bonzai?

Valida - Acropora valida

Nana - Acropora nana

Amazing growth for only 18 month from being a frag. I guess it is a Valida

I can never tell the diference between a Garf and a Tricolor.

 

[Flake]

What is the official difference between the garf and the tricolor? Is it just a world of branding or is there actually a difference?

In general the GARF is very solid purple with green polyps, so two colors. A tri-color, based on the Reef Farmers website has a third color, which is brown. So the difference is the brown I guess.

Thanks! I guess i'd have to see it in person to tell, pictures just look the same.
