Got these two today. Wondering if they have a name? They're a bit brown but nonetheless have some nice color.

They both look like acropora tenuis
 
Not A. tenius. One of the distinct features of A. tenius is the "Radial corallites are arranged in a neat rosette and have slightly flaring lips." Neither of these have that rose pattern to their corallites.

The first might actually be Acropora echinata. Too early to be sure.

The second might be Acropora cytherea if it tables.

Second one looks like a faded tricolor to me.
