What are some differences of the two?

Could be a digitata.I just got some zoa's in myself and they have digi all over it and also looks like i'm getting 2 mushrooms

It looks like the corallites are all raised and individual. Interesting.

The Monti species it resembles to me are (using the individual looking raised corallites)
M. grisea
M. peltiformis
M. effusa

All can be found in Australia. Of course, I could be way off.

I checked Porites, but most of them have more regular corallite walls than what I'm seeing in the first pic. I didn't see anything that made me really wonder (which, of course, means nothing, really).

While we try and figure it out, it sounds like its cool and safe to keep.
