Cali Tort?

I need some help. I have this coral, out of the water it's Crazy pink.

But put it under 6 inches of water and it turns a deep purplish/blue with white polyps. Is this a Cali Tort?

The picture sucks, but yes, it turns crazy purple. Look at the yellow porites for a contrast

I'm stumped!

What does it look like under white lights in the tank ?

A. Valida I believe.

The pinkish image is out of water under normal light, purple is on water with 20k mh

I just had a friend come over and he thinks it's an A. Nana? I looked it up and they both look the same. How the heck can you be sure?

I buy corals because I like them, but trying to know what they are is a beast!
