Acroporid ID’s

Hi all. I’m really confused and would appreciate someone getting an ID on these two mari’s.

—-

Photos were taken a day apart. I have a solatube over the tank so light varies.

I was thinking loripes/tenuis but it’s been a wee while since I’ve picked up any SPS. I honestly have no idea now.

The thicker branch seems to be getting paler. Was solid green when purchased, now turning to a light blue body with green tips. The thinner branched acro was a pale cream with barely a hint of blue tips, now the blue tips are showing a bit more but the cream is quite dark.

Appreciate any and all help, B.

Not sure about the first one, could be loripes, but I was thinking it might also be cerealis. The second one looks like aculeus.
