    I have a true GARF bonsai (there are many imposters out there and they can only be told apart by skeletal variations after they reach colony size) and it varies from yours ever so slightly... the purple is a deeper beautiful purple but the polyps are about half the size of yours and are just plain green... the pop isnt as much as yours :/
    My other one is a variant of A. valida with a very light purple (almost blue) tissue and small green polyps that pop.
    Yours looks like is a third variance; A. secale... Very very bright larger polyps and light purple tissue

    Just guessing here though...

    Very cool Dingo, i really like he big green polyps. I was gonna pick up an ORA Marshall Island purple/green but then I had that weird phyto bloom so I thought against dropping that kind of money on a coral. This tri color definitely isnt a deep purple throughout but I'm still really excited about it!

    very gorgeous coral! under the correct lighting it is amazing... i have a wild caught acro that is similar but the colors arent even close to as amazing as ORA's one ;)
