ID Please - neat looking green one and purple one

The guy at the LFS didn't know what these were, so they were really cheap. Well, he knew the purple one was a montipora cap, and he just said the green one was some sort of SPS. There was a bigger piece of the green one that had some really neat coloration- mostly green with some royal purple mixed in. These are the best pics I could get for now.

Purple looks like Tubinaria reniformis (purple version), not a monti. Don't know about the green one.
