They are both grafted so they were probably sold as "Grafted"... with the different colors, there won't be one "common" or "trade" name given to it.

also they're not grafted, they're likely naturally just like that. Dipsastraea often has mottled coloration like this; this characteristic is sometimes used to separate this genus from other similar genera/species like Astrea or ex-Phymastraea.
