Lookin' like a new morph to me. What color is the skin under the polyps?
 
i would say new morph.

is it an encrusting monti?

be nice to get a mocro shot of some of those polyps

It's encrusting and I'll try to get you a closer shot of the polyps here shortly just went out and crab was walking over it and it was closed up lol but I will see what my cam can do.
 
Why do you say that?

The polyps look bigger than the encrusting montis I usually see. They look more like the polyps I had on my tubs pink sprinkles. The polyps are more spread out than in the pic reef lover posted.
Im probably wrong on it as the astreos seem to also have longer polyps
 
I have to go with a rainbow. Rainbows from Bali look different than Rainbows from Kupang and so on. They look very simular but maybe the nutrients in the water changes them a little bit. I have had Rainbows side by side from 3 different locations and they all looked a little different. Either way, very nice!
What is the purple acro in the picture, lower left?
 
i thought i saw one similar to that on ultimatefrags a while back i think it was called black widow rainbow or something like that
 
just a update this colony after taking pics a fish knocked a acro into it and over night wiped out entire colony:(
