The brown fuzzy one isn't a Tradescantia. Its Cyanotis kewensis from India.

Siderasis fuscata is brown and fuzzy but it is rosette plant not a creeper.

*******************

Tradescantia is strictly a New World genus.

Quite a few former Tradescantia are now Callisia or Gibasis, while former
Zebrina, Setcreasea and Rhoeo are now back in Tradescantia.

Yes, it all depends on which one you have in the large plant group.

what's really good information, Cereus,something kinda neat is that I not
only have the perennial varieties of Tradescanthia that are hardy for
here,
but I apparently have had Callisia fragrans which is a type of
Tradescanthia
or spiderwort for decades. And now have another houseplant, the fuzzy
Brown
spiderwort. g It's finally thriving in the heat and humidity on the
north
balcony with the other shade loving tropicals and what not.
