I think you're right that the eyes are too large to be a monti as I continue to look at the pics. BUT I think the coralites and the polyps seem very small for a scroll, and I've never seen a scroll with that kind of coloration. It seems closest to a Hollywood stunner chalice, but the shape is kind of "melty" for the colony as a whole as it looks like it is creeping over the rockwork. What I've observed is that chalices tend to lift off of the rockwork, and may form structures like a monti cap will (rosettes or whorls). I have a chalice of some sort I've had for two years that's gone from six eyes to over a hundred, and it hasn't conformed or encrusted to the rock at all. (It's colored somewhat like a Hollywood stunner, but the eyes are bigger and a brighter green and the base color is more lavender. It strikes me as a cross between pink boobies and Hollywood stunner.) It's basically grown just in the shape of a disk growing pretty much over the rockwork.

Sorry, I don't have any more recent photos I can get to.
