The structure does look similar to the one I have.

Here's another pic, showing the base color a bit better.




Been trying to ID this one for a while. Closest I found was this frag Mad Jelly was selling a while back. They called it an Ice Fields Tenuis.

The first answer was right. It's an acro. That's probably as close as you're going to accurately get. It needs high light. All acros need high light. Barring the deep water acros, which have a distinct look. Which, BTW, I also keep in high light.

Ya my deep waters seem to like high light

They're simply adapted to not needing high light, but they still do well in high light. I find the colors pop better too.
I'd say, with few exceptions, any coral available in the trade will do well in high light once acclimatized to it.

Tenius has a more closer growth pattern than the one I have so I don't think its tenius But then again I might be wrong.

I heard that some deep waters (like red dragon) gets pale color if kept in higher light but they like high blue light so my logic said high up in blue light = great color but high up in daylight = pale color. Is it? Also heard that bonsai should be kept in medium light for brighter colors. Placements always confuse me.

I've got 3 pieces of bonsai, one on the bottom on a frag disk, one 10" up and one within 4" of the surface. They all look the same

They were under led until 2 days ago
