What's the difference between a normal bonsai vs. a garf bonsai?
May 26, 2017 · The garf piece is a completley different coral imo. Pretty sure he got all his stuff out of figi back then, correct me if I am wrong. Garf gets thrown on so many corals that look similar to the bonsai including tricolors. The garf is the only one that is a solid deep dark purple.
GARF bonsai acropora not growing | Reef2Reef - REEF2REEF …
Feb 8, 2019 · I’ve added a small GARF bonsai Acro frag to my 75 gallon mixed reef about 9 months ago and other than a little encrusting on the rock around it, has not grown much at all. It has changed from brown after shipping to a nice dark blue with neon green polyps almost always extended. Lighting, flow...
Is this Garf Bonsai color normal? | Reef2Reef
Mar 12, 2018 · Garf bonsai acros stay solid purple, that looks like a validia or tricolor type which gets white in the branches when growing well and in good light. Under less light it will look like a bonsai. Keep up the good work and the white will really provide contrast to the tips and polyps as it grows and will spread down the branches the more light ...
GARF Bonsai color fading | Reef2Reef
Mar 21, 2012 · Hello, Back in mid February I got a nice frag from @BoomCorals and after a few weeks in QT under 250W MH it was looking good and had even grown a bit. The light was high above the surface and the frags were about 16" deep. In the DT for about 6 weeks now and the past couple of weeks I've been...
Why are my Acros turning green? | Reef2Reef - REEF2REEF …
Feb 9, 2020 · Here are my acros. One is a Garf Bonsai and the other is undefined. I’ve noticed that the one on the left has turned more green then when i got it. It was more blue with green polyps. The hard bonsai (right) is starting to turn green right at the edge of the base. They seem extremely healthy but...
My first Acro...Purple Bonsai?? | Reef2Reef
Sep 24, 2006 · well, in this case, the GARF purple bonsai, is prob the most purple (throughout the entire coral), more than any other tri color, nana, valida collected in the hobby so far. THAT is why it is so popular, and a must have. if it didnt come from the strain from GARF, its not a bonsai....its just a acropora valida or nana tricolor (again, not a ...
Any photo of GARF Bonzai under LED only? | Reef2Reef
Mar 23, 2020 · The bonsai has a solid purple body ime. Honestly I think this acro is way nicer though and the ones with the bluer tips are cool too. In high light the white covers more towards the base and can look really great. On topic though, I have seen the garf bonsai in led tanks with high nutrients that look pretty good.
Established Garf Bonsai losing color from base | Reef2Reef
Jul 9, 2020 · They will start to STN near the base, move up, then RTN once it hits the branches. This has happened to a couple of corals already, seemingly at random times (not tied to an event that I can blame), and infrequently. I've lost two JF Fox Flame, RR BlackJack, and ARC Fireworks in the same manner. And now, a garf bonsai is doing it. Here's some pics-
