The name in the pic my wife found is Acropora Bonsai. I've searched it and nothing comes back. If anybody knows a different name for this could you let me know please.

Thanks, Rick

WOW...:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
Rickg, that is a beautifull Acro but no idea about the name.
Put my name down for a frag if you decide to cut it up in the future.
Congrats on a fine purchase...

I haven't got one. Just inquiring (hoping to buy one, JENSEN, lol). wanted to research before I try and find one. My wife actually found the pic and fell in love with it. Wants more colour in the tank. I like it because the polyps seem to extend only from the ends rather than all over. If I ever find one (JENSEN) I will definitely share.

I have drooled over that coral for the last two years since seeing it on the GARF site. GARF is American, therefore next to impossible to get an SPS into Canada from them. You would need special permitts etc. If you find a source that will ship, let me know!!!

One could always "smuggle" one across. Did I say that? Nope wasn't me.

GARF won't ship to Canada. Does this mean this coral is illegal? Or they just won't ship here because of the CITES permits? And is it possible to get the permit myself?
