I'm pretty sure I've got the second one pinned down to A. foveolata, nice bright purple all over (looks like the corallites may be developing a blue color...in which case it would be blue with purple polyps, kind of neat!)...but the first one I don't have a clue. These are all flash pictures and so not the best. The actual color is a light pastel green/blue with mint green polyps and a purple growing edge.
The first one has VERY small polyps (smaller than my M. peltiformis). I'm guessing maybe 0.6-0.8mm at most. You can can an idea size-wise by the 'pod posing in the one pic...it's maybe 3mm in length. The second one (A. foveolata?) has very LARGE polyps. Easily 1.5-1.7mm or larger, and very distinct corallites.
Either way, have fun.
