Difficult angle. But most likely Acropora Hyacinthus. It's easier to ID Acroporas when the corallite structure is more visible :)

Ok this might help I now you can't get positive Id with colour. But it's lemon yellow and I didn't know Hyacinthus could be yellow

Hard to tell 100% with the last one as the radial corallites are not very visible. But I'm pretty sure it's Acropora Tenuis.

Ps. colour has nothing to do with ID. Acropora Hyacinthus is mostly common as brown, pink or red (or at least in Norway it is), but you can still find green and probably yellow as you say yours are (even though I suspect it is a bleached green as yellow is very uncommon)

Don't think it's bleached green

+1 on 2nd ID being a tenuis. I think i agree with the first being a hyacinthus or anthrocercis. Color is not a determining factor with species, though some species seem to be found (in the hobby) with limited color variety. IE Blue/Green Tenuis'.
