My best ID for this one is maaaybe Acropora speciosa? The growth is much thicker than say A. carduus:

Another guess, but I'm more confident with this one being Acropora derawanensis or possibly A. elegans. Very horizontal growth pattern, extremely easy to break, and very fine tips:

The first one is a Echinata Acro and the second most likely is the same. Looks like a Hurlock.

Thanks for your input!

I was originally thinking echinata for the first one, but decided against it because it's not forming a "bottle brush" growth pattern like I've had with other echinatas over the years.

The second one may have coloring similar to the Hurlock, but the growth is totally different. The Hurlock growth is closer to the first one.
