I got this awhile back. I can't find any close up of a sps the looks the same. The only pic that I found was two blue, so it didn't show the colors.It has dark purple tips which fade to lite purple.The main dranch has very, very few poylps on it.The small branches have all the polys and they extend out very well.Wjere the lite purple stops, the cream or white color begins(its not dieing).The base where it encrust, has a blueish purple tint to it and has very few polpy also. Here is a pic of it.I don't have a good lens yet, so here is the best I can get.

acropora crayola planna? super polpy extention and show to be starting a table.
 
First, I'd recommend this be moved to the SPS ID forum.

Next, which coral are you asking about? There's 3 in the picture, though, from your description, I assume you mean the coral to the right, in the center of the photo?

Looks an awful lot like an ORA Chip's Acropora. In fact, even if you didn't acquire it as an ORA, it's most definitely the same coral.
 
maybe its just me but that has far too much purple and not enough green. plus the polyps are smaller than an ORA chips
