SPS ID help - Montipora?

[Soundwave]

I was given these by a good friend because he was tearing down for a move. Out of the many that I received, these are the two that I can't clearly ID. I believe they are both Montis but that's just a guess.

If you can help, please do!

The first, in person, has a light turquoise colored base with bright turquoise/green polyps.

This one is a pale yellow/green base with fluorescent pink polyps.

Any help would be appreciated!

They are both Montipora, but there is no way to tell what species at those sizes. Do you know haw they grow? Encrust, plate, digitate?

Not sure yet on growth pattern. I was hoping to maybe get some insight on their placement. Thank you for confirming my suspicion on them being montis.

Placement I would start them off indirect light so they do not burn. If they start to look a little drab in a two weeks moving them close to the full light. Moderate water flow and IMO most importantly with Montis you will want to keep your Alk stable.

Thank you. My concern is how they will grow. I would like to place them where they will show well. It doesn't appear that we will know how they will grow until they actually, well, grow.

Thank you for your info.
