The first one is looking like Acropora yongei. AKA slimer, but there is no was to tell if it came from Bali or not, A. yongei is found all over the Pacific and Indo.

The second one could be a 50/50 chance of being Acropora millepora, which grows into a table and has short stumpy branches, or Acropora prostrata, which grows longer thinner branches and forms a corymbose shelf. They look identical as frags. Red Plant is a signature coral that comes from ORA and would have lineage if it was. RP is a different species of Acropora and will have red polyps and green only in the shaded parts of the coral.
