Microlados
Tenuis
And maybe another tenuis? The last one doesn’t show enough to get a decent id on.

They are all really cool and I really like the green and orange tenuis in the middle!
 
I'd say first is more likely A. Nasuta. Second is probably A. Tenuis, and third reminds me more of A. Hyacinthus but with such a cropped in shot hard to tell.
Thanks for the id ,the 3rd is just a small frag so had to crop it to get better image if its Hyacinthus i will move it .
 
The first acro is a Reef Ready Grape Juice. When I got mine from Adam at Battlecorals, he said it was A. Microclados and he's usually spot on.

Many people mistake nasuta for microclados, because both have nariform radial corallites, but micros are usually sharper looking, and lack the small notch before the lip, I believe grape juice is a nasuta, compare its morphology to hillers aquadelight, ORA Laura purple polyp etc etc.
