Do you guys have any recommendations for fast growing acros.
So far my pink cadillac, Tierra Del fuego, fox flame and Walt Disney are good growers.
 
Forgot to list the bonsai and slimer.
Also would like to add digitata and stylophora
 
ORA Tri-val seems to be a superfast grower as well.
 
Out of the three frags I have Boomberry acropora is the fastest . Every day I see a little more growth.
 
Ime as long as isnt a thinned skinned species they all tend to out grow most other stony corals outside Pocilloporidae family. Valdia, milie, and tenius are fastest to acclimate to a new system and start growing faster. I probably spelled all of the acro species above wrong too [emoji23]
 
Ora scripts. Can't keep it from growing.
 
x2 on ASD Rainbow Millie is the fastest growing Millie I've ever kept.
Other acros in thread all fast. Green Slimer probably overall if you've ever kept track of mass over a year in a healthy system. Valida / Nana fast but still less than half of what a Slimer can put on.
 
Jf barney is growing super fast for me and has excellent pe
 
Bonsai, fuego, cliffs acro, green slimmer and planet
 
Good thread!

For those who keep green slimers (A yongei) about what PAR would you recommend for best/fastest growth?

I ask because these don’t seem to be corals that directly need a lot of PAR to thrive, since they don’t grow in their highest density at the surface.

Though I’m not familiar with typical Pacific reef zonation, this looks parallel to the Acropora cervicornis (A very similar branching species) zones in the Caribbean. That is, they live in thickets several tens of square meter in size, from about 10 to 25 m in depth.
