Not sure on the first one, but the second one is a carolina or deep water. HTH
 
first one is green and the second one is naked. There you go drain, I suck at them as well! :wink:
 
I think the second one might be a Purple bonsai it looks like it has a faint hint of purple in it.
Just my guess.

FYI 2nd one is faaaaaarrrrr from a bonsai....if any of the acros posted here resembles a bonsai it's the first one because its got green polyps with purplish base....but as others have said the first one is indeed a humilis and second is a carolinia/suharsonoi....
 
My first thought, when seeing Pic 1, was A. humilis. Seems several have suggested the same, so that's a good indication.

Unfortunately, I have no guess on the second.
 
Thanks everyone! Anyone care to point out any potential care differences for them I should be aware of? The caroliniana (whats a suharsonoi? what's difference?) has not grown very much where it is- mid level, fairly high light, maybe not super high flow- but has added on polyps to its structure and seems to be growing a base onto the live rock. I purchased it labelled as a Lokani- anyone care to inform me the differences with a Lokani and a Caroliniana?
