I grew a colony of it on my sand bed from a skin flap in a matter of months. Grows like a monster.

The true Bonsai (Garf) are a slow - medium grower. They are also pretty tough. Try color acro's grow very fast. If you want good polyp extension, dose zeovit phol's Extra and amino acid. The True Bonsai is dark purple through out with green polyps. Just make sure it's a real Bonsai. Check Paul from OC, he should have some.

keep your levels and po4 down and it will do great. For flow, I have my colony about 10" from the MP40.

I have a garf which has been pretty slow growing but great color. And another purple bonsi that prefers to encrust. Thought it was strange that it would grow like that but it seems to be starting vertical growth.
