Talking Help with ID's please

Here's a few frags I've got recently and would love some ID's on. I have my suspicions on a couple. Thanks in advance.

Miami Orchid ?


Green Slimer ?


This is on of my favorites. Red coralites, emerald green flesh and fades to lavender tips.


no clue


some kind of monti ?

Your last piece is a Montipora, probably M. danae. Fast grower for me. There are other similar Montis and I find them hard to seperate via fotos. Coralite size and verrucae are important. Fortunately, they are all easy and quite attractive. Therefore, a rose by any other name....

Ciao,

Thanks guys.
That montipora certainly is a fast grower and was a great find for $12. I've had it less than 6 months and it's gone from a 1/2" x 3/4" to a good 4" around, and I love the pink/purpleish skin and the blue polyps.
