I picked these up for $25 a piece from an lfs. I know one is an acro (not the indo purple tip), and no clue on the green one.

The first photo is too out of focus to tell. Looks like the focus was on a point of live rock, way back behind the Mandarin.

The second photo is also an Acropora, most likely an A. valida

^ Right on the money with A. valida. Love them. The first kinda looks like it might be a branching hydnophora or possibly a montipora digitata but the image is way too out of focus to really tell. The first thing that came to my mind is that if the LFS didn't even know them or label them you might want to think twice before buying there again.
