Aurumvorax [I'll prolly do this one around 12th level]
Cockatrice [? 8th level]
Crimson Death [16th level or thereabouts?]
Giant, Cloud
Giant, Frost
Neogi may be better off around 10th-13th level
Su-Monster [6th level?]
Vampiric mist [11th level or thereabouts?]
I have long suspected the 3e vine horror was pretty much a conversion of the algoid; that would make the 4e vine horror basically cover it.
Also I believe Mike Mearls has done conversions for the blindheim and adherer that you can get if you email him - there was something about that in his blog.
Another consideration: you might want to think about moving the neogi (or neogis if you're doing different roles) closer in level to the umber hulk in order to enable encounter construction to better match the fluff of the neogi enslaving umber hulks. As the umber hulk is a level 12 elite brute, putting the neogi somewhere around a level 12 or 13 controller would seem like a good choice.
EDIT: Also your link is to the 'edit post' function for the monster project so only mods will be able to follow it.
Brain coral is a small communal organism that resembles a normal, pink and grey coral formation. However, it is much more dangerous, being slightly mobile and very intelligent. Brain corals subsist off of organic debris in the water, but they require certain nutrients found only in intelligent creatures to maintain their own communal sentience. Often, brain coral will join forces with other aquatic monsters, such as sahuagin, locathah or others, to cooperate to bring down prey.

Bloodbloaters are small, flat, disk-shaped oozes about 8” in diameter, with a bulge at the center. They are a translucent milky white with flecks of red at the center. While an individual bloodbloater ooze is an annoyance, they tend to congregate in swarms of about 650 creatures, posing a true threat to swimmers. Additionally, there are isolated incidents of bloodbloaters that have grown to more dangerous size on an individual basis.

I tweaked the way wear points interact with magic items in the rust monster entry. Previously, they got a saving throw against each wear point, but I decided that I liked that better as a non-magical potential weapon enhancement- "enduring" weapons.
Ever since I came up with them, I have really liked using wear points to show abstract wear and tear on pcs' items.
