Pretty sweet, if you ask me.

I've heard of the `miyagi tort' and the `bonsai' [aka garf bonsai/etc] ... but never the two together.

I was under the impression that the Miyagi tort is an Austera...I've never heard of a Miyagi Bonsai...

Miyagi tort is an Austera

That is what I thought also... Where did you pickup your frag?

Pictures 1 thru 4 and the last one do not look like the Garf. They are great looking corals and I would love to have a piece of each.
Pictures 5,7 & 8 look like the Garf.
Picture 6 looks like it but it sure is Blue. I've never seen one get that blue. But guess it could, depending on the lighting?
