I just bought this bonsai and have no idea what species it is since it only says indoor bonsai on the tag. Here's a photo, hopefully, someone can help me identify this and I can ensure I am properly caring for it. :) My closest guess is carmona microphylla.

It looks like a very young Fukien Tea Tree (the Carmona you mentioned in your original post).
But... It's not a bonsai yet.

Might sound like a stupid question but what do you mean not a bonsai yet? And what do I do to make it one :D

I cannot tell why this specific plant is not a bonsai, as your picture is not posted to the forum. Please include the pictures in your posts instead of an external server.

名媛直播 are created through a range of techniques aimed at giving the impression of a large mature tree, but then in small. As long as you do not reach the state of 'tree-similarity' you are not near having a bonsai.
