The first one being mostly encrusted is going to be hard to ID with any degree of certainty as the coralite structure is not that developed. This will make an ID difficult, if not impossible for now. Once the branch that is growing develops more try to re-post as it will be easier to get a solid ID.
I think this one-
Is A. insignis. For comparison here is a pic from Vernon.
And now a close-up showing the coralites.
As for this one.
My first thoughts were also A. desalwii, however I could not confirm this as the polyps were covering the coralites so I could not see the shape or density of the coralites. Would it be possible to somehow get a pic with the polyps retracted? This would be the best way to get a good ID.
Hope this helped.
