New sps!! Need an ID on one please :D
Picked up the red monti this afternoon for a steal at the lfs. Also got the unidentified purple thing that if anyone has a clue as to what it is I would appreciate it! It looked dead in the tank at the lfs but once I got it acclimated it started extending it's polyps.

Also, I have had the other Monti about 2 months. The pic does not do it justice though. It is olive green with a lavender rim. I need to frag some of it though it is getting a bit big for the tank.

Ok.....on to the pics

The first one looks more like an LPS of some sort. Could be wrong though.
