A. tortuosa comes originally from Australia. The A. tricolour from the Indo Pacific. This can be the reason for two different names. A. tortuosa is a little more blue then purple and the polyps sometimes are more blue then green, but that's the only difference I know.
Humm that could explain it or maybe it's a hybrid ? Looking at the photos more closely the corralites are similar yours seems to be more purple in color but that could be just the lighting effect, nontheless a magnificent coral !

Thanks Craig
