I picked up a few maricultured mini colonies and not sure what they're going to grow up to be? Sorry for the bad camera pics, but the two in question is a super stubby brown one at the middle right, and then the one down and to the left a bit that has stag like qualities, but lots of compact cones for growth. Any help would be much appreciated! I'm excited to see how they turn out. It's been 5 days and so far they're starting to have more polyp extension. There is a frag of a milli in between if that helps!

Acropora samoensis
Acropora austera

Would be my guess, very nice additions.
 
Great, thanks! They were what's left after a bunch of probably more popular varieties were sold, so I guess I was lucky that they weren't as popular. I love the forms.

The austrera form has such tight branches, I'm sure that's probably due to being from the ocean, but hopefully it stays somewhat compact.
