Unknown Coral

I picked up this frag at the LFS but am unsure if this is a type of Monti, a type of Chalice, or maybe something else. It has a purple flesh with bright blue polyps that stay really short giving it a fuzzy appearance. It likes high light and pretty high flow too.

Anyone have any guesses? Thanks in advance!

Monti. It will possibly turn red. Are the polyps half blue, half clear?

I was leaning toward Monti. The polyps are all blue

Bribo you were completely right, the flesh has turned red and the polyps are still blue. I'm positive it's some type of monti now, there are no eyes on it.

I'll get a picture of it as soon as I get home from work.
