great acros! and i think the 2nd one is sometype of millipora.
I started them about 2 months ago from a 1inch frag i bought on here from someone,but cant find who and i guess they are doing ok since these are my first sps,I do have others but was able to take a pic from the top thru the water..

So they look ok huh..Thanks
 
Moved to the SPS ID forum. Maybe one of the SPS gurus will chime in. :)
 
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.
