Pink-Orange Monti ID

The large colony started with a 1/2" X 1/2" frag mounted on a piece of dead coral the size and shape of my thumb. It grows out in a plate & looks like a mushroom on a tiny stalk. Included is a close up of ridges & polyps.

Thanks you so much. I had a close look at your links. I am confident it is M. palawanensis. Both danae & verruculosus have, excluding the margins, regular & radiating ridges which mine does not. Also the polyps on the two later species are easy to see. The polyps on my Monti, like that of palawanensis is buried deep & difficult to see.

This is the most confident I have been about a recommended ID . . . you are a God! Thank you.
