Don't forge the Leng Sy lineage on it. That coral has legit history. There are over a dozen Montipora species that plate and they can all get a slightly different combinations of color with a purple rim. The Odds that that came from Leng Sy are very slim. It might not even be a Montipora capricornis. It's tough to say with out a very close detailed picture of the corallites, and even then you can't be 100%.

The first purple Acropora will be impossible to even give a good guess. The only info to go by are the radial corallites for now.

The green Acrop could be a slimer, aka Acropora yongei. There are a few other Acropora species that can be green with those corallites. If it doesn't grow into a stag then you know it's not A. yongei.

How do you know it's a M. capricornis? The color will not matter if you are looking for a proper ID.
