blue polyp monti ID?

I bought it as montipora Danae, and I guess with it's bumpy appearance it would qualify?
Since I want to get a blue polyp montipora peltiformis, I just want to make sure this is not the same thing..

PS Can anyone help ID my algae on the lower part of the rock? Is it biopsys? It is very hard to pull out, it takes a few rubbles of LR with it.

Thanks



here is another picture of my algae... I think it's the same thing.

If it's feather shaped and about an inch long, it's Bryopsis. Used to be the end of days for infested LR but now people are treating it with high Mag with some success. Do a search for the thread.

looks like M. danae. It's not M. peltiformis.

Attractive colouring.
