First one looks like seriatopora caliendrum, birds nest, notice how the polyps are all in straight lines, second looks (pink) to be One also although the picture isn’t clear, could be a Montipora digitata. 100% not Acropora Millepora or Millepora species which is fire coral.

Doubtful. Anacropora have a different growth form and don’t have a smooth body around the polyps. If you could put up I clearer pic I’d could better help. Unless the polyps are in very straight lines with a slight iridescence it’s a Monti. Also a hot pink Anacropora would set you back near $200.. not impossible, but not likely.
