Which are fast growing, hardy SPS?

I’ve always had luck with the Garf Bonsai. It grows well once it gets established and so far I’ve never killed one.

Forest fire digi and lime in the sky stag. Once they start, they take off.
Seriatopora guttatus aka screaming green birdsnest is kinda like the kelp of sps.

I had a battle corals Spainbow that was hardy.
My house got flooded by my roofers; so I had to break my tank down and sell my coral. I put the live rock in a Brute container with water and a powerhead and placed. After a few days I placed a clamp-on CF light that was on my refugium. I did this to keep some of the coraline algae. Several weeks had gone by and I had a stub of that Spainbow growing!

PC Rainbow is the fastest grower in my tank. Took a while to start growing, but once it did, I swear I see new branches popping out every day.

Look for the Chameleon acro, high light, low light, fast grower

Rainbows army from battlecorals is another bulletproof sps, ime.

Just remember to try to match the parameters the owner has. Stability, and lighting and flow are important too.

I agree on the PC Rainbow Red Planet, my Sour Twist also grows really fast if you are looking for something a little different

Another vote for the Garf. I have two in my display that have survived my attempts at killing them, whilst others have died.

My stags grow really well. 2 types of green slimer and a blue slimer (crayola stag) have grown huge in the past three years. Seems to take them a while to establish, but when they start to branch out, they grow fast. Trick is to provide them with LOTS of light and flow. Many reefers may not have adequate coverage and therefore do not see the same level of success with stags.
