Fastest growing brain coral?

[Phlox]

Hey guys! So I was wondering and have been looking online what the fast growing brain coral would be. I have owned a frag of maze brain coral that seemed to never grow in the past and I'm revisiting this species because they are so interesting. Now I know that "fast" is a relative term and by no means do I think it would grow like my zoas, mushrooms, and zenia. However, I would like to get input from reefers on their experience with brains. Which grew faster for you? I target feed my LPS with myosis shrimp when I feed my fish and have gotten fast growth from my Duncan's and got two new heads in one month! All parameters are in check. Experience? Thank you!

I have several types of brain corals/LPS, and so far for me my fastest grower is my red and green war coral. Started with a plug 2 months ago and it's now completely covered the plug and is really taking off on the LR it was placed on. My max coral has shown small signs of growth as well as my green folded brain. I have a frag of dragon soul Favia that has only been in the tank 3 weeks now and I can tell it's already grown some. Very neat to see LPS grow well!

Cool! I've seen the green war corals at my LFS I'll have to pick one up. I want 3 types hopefully. Anyone else have any experience with brains? Suggestions?

I have a brain maze coral which is growing very nicely. It's hard to say which is the fastest grower because it depends on so many factors but I have a couple of trachyphyllia geoffroyis which are growing fast. If you target feed them they'll grow much quicker.
