As per title, is anyone able to ID this Scoly for me?

It’s a bleeding apple. Some people/vendors might give it some other name, but there’s no real standard or grading system, as far as I know it’s a bleeding apple.
 
Thanks for the replies. I’m looking forward to getting it in and seeing how it develops.
 
I've seen darker variants like that sometimes called warpaint. Not sure if that's just something made up or not.
 
I got this pink and aqua coral a few months back at a LFS for $20, was a presumed "button Scoly". At the time it was much sadder, and had a small piece of skeleton showing. It's gotten a lot fluffier, and now I am seeing 3 small new polyps/mouths forming on the bottom of it (not all pictured). Is it a button Scoly or something else? Anyone have any idea?

It’s an Acan echinata, not a button scoly.
