They are Jokers paly.
The history goes like this:
When the original PPE was leading the fab of naming zoas, and fetched handsome money, some dude found these paly and tried to sell them as PPE. Then some one called out the difference, the lack of the green mouth, then these imposters were named Jokers paly because they were a joke...blah blah blah...

Same thing with Rasta and Imposta zoas.

The funny thing is that Rasta is petty easy to find in this area, the Imposta zoas are hard to find.

You can see the back ground of the first photo is neutral, the back ground of the 2nd photo is blue. The 2nd photo was shot under blue led and edited with photoshop.

Under different lighting, coral color can be different dramatically. Different vendors name their coral differently. WWC is no exception.

IMO, buy coral because you enjoy their unique color and shape, not based on vendors’ name or hype. All the names of coral are made up, some coral is hard to find but many of them are just hype.
Anyone can name their coral whatever they like. It does not increase or decrease their value.

Coral value is based on what people are willing to pay for them.

Many people give old coral new names in order to create new interests.

Further more, now led is more common, under LED, many old coral look dramatically different, so some of them got new names.
