Default ID on some corals please!

He everyone,

Just got some new corals and was wondering what they are.





Got this one because of the polyp colors, not sure what the body will be when it colors up though.




Got this one because I though it was a superman monti in the store, but it totally changed colors in my lighting. It currently has a royal blue base and the polyps change from green to brown/red daily.

Blue Polyp Monti. I have 2 pieces one in lower light with a brown base, and the other in high light with the similar cream base.





Blue Polyp Mille possibly? I got a frag from Snappy that looks very similar.





Rainbow Monti.

Yeah I would agree with that, it certainly looks that way in other pics.

I have a montipora peltiformis and it seems to grow very different than this coral. Where the montipora peltiformis is kinda plating the coral I have encrusts. Also the coloring seems very different. Just a slight variation on the coral i guess.
