new monti's, confucia and dinosaur egg

[dukes707]

here are a couple of new aquisitions. the first i know for sure is a pruple rimmed monti confucia. colony is about 3x3

the second i am not quite sure of. it was sold to me as a dinosaur egg montipora. i have done a search and cant really find any info, or a really good pic for some reason. but it has a really deep purple base, blue polyps, and flourescent green highlights on it. colony is about 4.5x4

pics really dont do either any justice, lots brighter in person. any info or opinions would be cool.

I believe the second is a M. dura.

In Veron book it looks like Palawanensis.

Dinosaur Egg

This is not mine, it is from an online site.

The second looks to be a Danae.

That's exactly what I thought on first, second and third glance Definitly not a D. egg
