I bought these a while ago & suddenly they started to grow. I would like to know the scientific and trade names..

I believe these are purple tip nana? and the second one strawberry shortcake or red planet?

Thanks!
 
The first could be A. nana or A. valida. You wont know it till it grows into a colony. IMO the only trade name would be purple acro, someone will probably chime in a say "It's Bonsai Acro" but i will disagree because that coral has lineage to GARFs Bonsai.

ORAs Red Planet and Strawberry Shortcake are two very different Acroporas that also have lineage. So if you did not receive the second one with this lineage it wouldn't be right calling it that. There are many species of Acropora that can be red with a green base. It could be the same species as ORAs Red Planet but i think the new branches look really close to Acropora verweyi, for now.
