Acro IDs please

I picked up these frags at a local swap today and was hoping for some ID help. The guy I got them from was packing up and I didn't get much info out of him.

I believe that this is a Cali tort, it's blue with a purple maroon base under actinics:


This one is rust colored with bright fluorescent yellow tips:


This looks and slimes like a green slimer, but it's bright lemon yellow:


And this one I have no idea about. It's purple with dark blue tips and bright green polyps under full spectrum:


And finally my favorite score of the day, this one is deep maroon with incredibly bright blue tips:


I'm not holding my breath on having any rare finds (they were all < $10), I was just hoping to get some more info on care and what to expect.

All IMO

1. Acropora tortuosa, as you ID'd
2. ?
3. Acropora yongei, or similar
4. Acropora valida
5. Acropora tenuis
 
Thanks! The color on the yongei threw me. As far as the valida, that's what I was leaning toward, but the growth is much more compact, the polyps are much smaller, and it's more conical than my tricolor, so I was confused. It's a small frag obviously, so we'll see in a few months.

I'm totally confused on #2 as well. I've been looking around on the interwebz and haven't seen anything similar yet.
 
I see a lot of frags similar. I think it might be A. tenuis as well but it really hasn't developed enough.
If it's yellow with a greyish blue base it is strikingly similar to RR wolverine. But compared to rock and the birdsnest in front of it, color balance appears way off.
