Hey everyone- I was just fragging my zoa garden to clean it up because a few Zoas overran it (surprise right?). Can anyone help me ID these two?

They don’t really seem to have much color so I am unsure of the id. Were they a live rock hitchhiker or a frag hitchhiker?
I honestly am not sure. I collect Zoas, so it is likely they may have come in on a zoa rock I bought and dragged up for different rocks/gardens. Here are some picture under brighter light at a lower kelvin. The larger one had closed up, but the one with three polyps is the same

It has a blue mouth, with a maroon disk that transitions to some light orange striations and then a green skirt.

The other one has a blue mouth with either brown or dark maroon disk (depending on the light and angle) with a peach/orange skirt.
