Question SPS ID please....Superman, purple haze? Thanks.

Need a positive ID. It is purple in color and has red polyps. Size is about that of a dime and only paid $18. Thanks.

my purple haze monti GLOWS in my tank. one of my most favorite corals........its a wonder why its not more popular. (probably b/c its easy/cheap to get thus people don't want it....lol)

i like the purple haze better than the superman IMO.
