It is a Acropora Florida, pictures show the color so I don't see much point in nicknames however Cherry Popper Acro is probably more consistent with others.
I also get a kck out of the names. I am also very familiar with the "cherry popper" name and where it comes from and an assumption is being made that this is the same.
The tips on mine are much more orange than red. Depending on one's system they may turn more reddish but in mine the tips are orange. Again this goes back to reticulate evolution and why the Latin name only supplies a general discription. I have also had A.florida with green tips & also yellow tips.
Anyway this coral is sold out because it is a sweet coral regardless of the name.
