A few weeks ago I was window shopping at the LFS & asked about the pricing on a few corals. They had some great pricing & I didn't have to deal with shipping so I bought them.

The pic quality isn't the best but it might be enough:

That one opened up better after being in my tank for about an hour than it was at the LFS. The core is a gray color & the polyps are bright green.

This one didn't open up as fast as the other, but it's beginning to open up more & more. It's a purple/pink color & the polyps are a translucent purple/pink.

Thanks in advance,

#1 ORA Purple Plasma
#2 ORA Blue Tort <- most likely, but could be faded plum crazy
If it turns purple I would say it's the later.

Thanks a lot. You were dead on with the Purple Plasma.

I'm leaning more towards the Plum Crazy because there isn't really any blue to it.

You won't believe how much I paid for the Purple Plasma. I saw the online prices & nearly crapped my pants.

#2 is plum crazy, not a tort

Thanks a lot everyone. The Purple Plasma is an awesome looking coral, especially with the way the acintics make the green glow. I can't wait for it to grow out more.
