Man, to me these two corals have a lot of similarities. Anyone seen them side by side or just seen them in general under normal tank conditions in the real world (ie without all blue lighting and an orange filter)? I guess in this image the Confetti has more green in the body but I see some in the Hyper pink as well.

They're just trade names. They could easily be the same species just very slightly different due to phenotypic plasticity. Buy the less expensive one since they appear the same to you (as they do to me as well).
 
I am far from an expert on all the trade names but my vivid confetti never had blue tips. Even the vivid above has pink growth tips
 
It seems like the Hyoer pink has some blue groeth tips lower and the others are pink. Either they are not really growing anymore of the are maybe in higher light? Maybe it' all just smoke and mirrors...
 
Same ocean / different name / different husbandry ... don't fall for the name game

It could also be a difference in cameras and post-processing of the image. Either way, they both look great!
