Acropora ID

Hi all, I have two acros here I'd like some help identifying. I know one is a Crayola Plana, but I'm not sure which. I'm not sure what the other one is. Depending on what pictures I see on Google, these both look like the Crayola Plana in different ways. The pictures aren't the clearest, but the colors are pretty close to 100% accurate.

The top one is giving me austera vibes. The bottom one looks vaguely like a nasuta with leprosy, so probably a plana.

Both are awesome corals!

LOL yeah it was normal when I got it, but it sure did grow funky. It's starting to grow from where it plated out on the tile (middle bottom of the picture) and those look normal. So I think new growth should hopefully be normal.

Thanks for looking!
