Acro ID and Goniopora question?

Hello. I picked up these 2 acros and wanted to see if anyone knew what kind they are? I got this Goniopora and want to see if it’s bleached or if this is a white Goni? Appreciate any help. Thank you.

The larger acro looks kind of red/pink with neon green polyps.

The smaller acro is purple with darker green and no visible polyps.

And is this acan dead or is it possible to come back from this stage of death? White skeleton exposed on all side and small amount of orange flesh left in the center of the polyps. Some flesh was falling off when I fish got it.

Kind of hard to tell on the Goniopora with the blue lights on. It could be a beige Goniopora. The acan is sadly dead :mask:

hard to tell on the larger acro, smaller acro maybe a common bonsai.

I've never seen an white coral that wasn't dead or dying so, i'd go ahead and start feeding the goni.

the acan looks like its hanging on for life, put it in the shade and cross your fingers.

Is the color white or beige like my photo? If it's beige, it is a goniopora Stokesi. If it's white then it's bleached

The bigger acro is pinkish with a hint of green over the pink. The goni actually looks a little pink and white. It actually does look like your picture! I had a bad feeling about the acan. It was with the Goni in a $5 bargain tank. The Goni was completely retracted and flesh peeling off the base of the skeleton but look at it now. So maybe, just maybe that acro will come back like it’s bargain bin brother. Thank you for the feedback.
