I was told it's a plain red montipora but over the last day I have noticed some green polyps apearing is this normal. This is the best picture I can get of it some advice and a positive ID would be apreciated and does it look happy enough the thing you can see under it is not aptasia it's a skeleton of an old coral it has grown over

Thanks sent a picture to my LFS and they have said it's morphing so I'm not sure if that's a good or bad sign.
 
A little bit of an update it's still morphing but into what as yet not got a clue here is an upto date picture looks really cool though some polyps have gone in as lights on the way down and nearly on all blues now.

I don't know the reefer who had it before me had it for a long time and has always been red he had MH lighting and I use LED so may be why it changing
 
It was red but has changed.

This is a picture taken of it tonight some polyps are in as was nearly on blues.

It was in the other person's tank for like 2 years and was only ever red so why the change ?
 
Got a picture of the montipora this morning when lights are out you can see the new growth onto the rock so must be doing something right :)

I will have to move that mushroom over soon to give it more space
