Do you Think this is the same coral?

The top was added a few weeks ago as a mystery frag from TSA labeled as ORA frog skin. The bottom is Pink Cadillac sourced from a battle box. The PC has been in the tank much longer but the Frogskin is starting to make me think it was mislabeled. What do you think?

Looks like two different coral

Different vendors got different names FOR THE SAME CORAL. It’s very misleading if you trying to build up a collection and not aware of it this practice.

Top one is not what I know as ORA Frogskin... the ORA Frogskin I have is green, bright green:

ORA Frogskin | Acropora sp. | ORA | Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums

The ORA Frogskin Acropora is a knobby and extremely stocky coral that grows into a solid plate.

I mean only sorta. I'd like to think that obvious ORA and reef raft branded coral that are very easy to distinguish like two in this thread aren't renamed as often as the unnamed whatnot that we all seem to pass around lol.

Definitely not the frog skin on top. I'm sure it was a labeling error

Agree but Pink Cadillac and ORA frogskin are nothing alike in either color or growth form and certainly not the same coral.
