Here it is, dead center of the tank (ten gallon)

Before first fragging

Several months after

Around 6 months ago after more fragging

Here it is today

Mine has to be my Aquasd Rainbow Milli. It took a little while to encrust, but then it just took off. Or another one of my newer fast growers is my Aquasd SSC.

my birdsnest keep growing at an alarming rate lol

 

[mcarroll]

Bump. Can anyone add some more to this list???

 

[david p.]

my formosa is growing like crazy.
of course digitata, capricornis and birdnest are weeds. they are still small in my tank, but i can already see they will surpass anything i have.

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Monti caps, digitata, yongi's, formosas, birdsnest corals and I had an acropora Nana that was almost as fast as these. Of the list birdsnest takes the cake for me. They grow so fast and all sides getting light grow at all times, unlike some other corals that will only grow in spurts or certain sections will be idle while the other half grows. I can't keep a birdsnest anywhere but the bottom underneath the other sps or stuff gets shaded or overgrown. Caps do the same thing too though.

 

[mcarroll]

Few things are as impressive as a Cap started at the bottom of a large tank and just allowed to grow up and out. Only seen if a couple of times – both times green Cap.

 

[Graffiti Spot]

I have seen a number of orange caps a few feet wide and I would say the greens are just as fast growing, although most any cap can keep up especially given its been in captivity for a turn or two.

Am I the only one that sees a face?

 

[webbl19]

Sorry. Messed up the reply.

Agreed!

 

[CoralWealth]

lets bump this up to see what kind of growth some people are getting and what are their fastest growers.

Some comparison shots would be great too.

I would like to revive this thread lol

ORA scripps/Acropora micropathalma is by a long shot the fastest growing sps I have experienced, sertiopora hystrix is a close second.

Green Pocillopora and blue / green digipora are saying hold my beer.

Slimers, blue and green can grow really quick when they hit large colony size, but pocs and digipora can double their mass in a matter of months.

Miami Orchid Acros will grow almost as fast as slimers, but they are much more rare. Not sure why....much prettier coral.

Digipora huh?

 

[Rick5]

Digipora huh?

It's a graft. One part digitata and one part pocillopora. Are you telling me one of our three resident SPS ID junkies hasn't encountered this graft hybrid? You're slacking, man.
