I picked this up browned out at the lfs a month ago, they are both coloring up nice. The second one is a really nice metallic sky blue. An id would be helpful.

I'm not sure if the first one it's a tortuosa,it look like an A.gomezi to me
About the second one it need to grove and get more shape

2. Need a closer pic of the purple tip growing there. Also tap it to retract the polyps. That would help greatly.

The polyps on the second look like montipora but the coralites and the tips of the branches look like acropora to me. It might be easier to id with a pick of the polyps retracted.
