A "Green Slimer" is a SPS coral and a "fire digi" is a Forest Fire Montipora Digitata. Below are examples, not out of my tank.

thank you! I had no idea an SPS would ever be listed as a fast-growing coral!

Acan's grow like weeds in my tank. A frag with 2.5 heads has turned into 11 in less than three months.

I know its only a beginner SPS, but Im still happy about the growth.

Your Forest Fire is beautiful. I want one once I get my new build going

I'd love to see a pic of this. I really like birds of paradise and especially if it's a fast grower, it should be super healthy looking. c:

The first picture is about what I started with in June, 2015. The second is the mother colony, which I just accidentally fragged by dropping a new ceramic frag rack on it. Both pix are in my main tank which has a lot of violet in the light (dunno how to correct this out).
The 3rd was a small frag a few months ago and is growing up in my nanocube with only white and royal blue lights. I have too many frags of this coral.

Toss up here

I had two of these blow up on me. 6mo growth. Sold the other one to dave Morris it was about 5x4

These two blew up too
Tyree ponape same amount of time. that's just a frag peeking it from behind it. Been there a month or so. and the stick I don't know. The name. Prob three inches wide too.

I think there's are utter chaos I'm really bad at ZOA names. I have to keep scraping them off of it. If I just let them grow they start to close over the live Indo muscle they are attached to. Got these November of last year. I really just wanted the muscle.
This is when I got it. Best growing ZOA in my tank for sure.

edit yea thats another muscle right in front there. I have four now, i lost one just yesterday so im kinda freakin out.

What conditions do you keep your duncan in. I have had mine for a month now and haven't seen any change at all. It dose stay open all of the time unless a crab bumps it.

I had my duncan in moderate flow. 18" under the center of a 250 halide. It grew from 3 heads to 12 in around 4 months then randomly purple slimed. Strange thing was it's the only thing that did. Kinda sucks because I loved how fast and the way that mini colony was growing.

This Green Slimer actually started to grow out of my old 225g tank!!!

Sorry to hear that. I think I may have my light set to low...Just nervous to turn it up.

Neon Green birdsnest my buddy gave me a sliver that was in his sandbed in January now it's 6inches tall with 12 branches I can watch it grow. My hammer went from 2 heads to over 20 in 18 months

I'm pretty sure that the monti pictured is a samarensis not a digitata.
