Is this a Sandollar Monti?

[PnoyReefeR]

I aquired a piece from Menard last Sept. Basically when I went to Chicago last yr I saw a piece on his tank and asked to get a frag. So basically I Cherry picked on his tank and he was kind enough to ship them to me . After4 months I snapped a picture and doesn't seem to look like sandollar monti to me . I send a couple pics to 2 guys and Kenny thought it was gonipora.. I just called Menard to chime in here later . I also send him this pictures.. Can someone or maybe someone has something similar to this can chime in .. Does it look like a monti to you? Thanks below is all the pics I snap today

Steve i have something similar. I also thought it was a Monti at first but now i also dont know. Polyps seem much more hairy. I will try and find a pic so you can compare.

Here you go, you can see in the second pick that the skeleton is very dif to a monti.

wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt in the goni family. Polyps are tiny though.
