Fastest growing SPS...in your experience

[Jeremy Blaze]

tri color, aka Larry Jackson, bali slimer, birds nest, digis, are all great growers ime.

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

Anything over 12" the bigger they get the faster you'll see growth.

I thought their rate of growth sped up as they grew larger...

[epleeds]

I have a red tabling acro that with good flow, grows like a weed.

 

[MIKE NY]

Pociliporas, Birdnests, A. Microthyalmas...these are my fastest growers even faster than my montis

green bird nest

+1 ours went from a golf ball sized frag to a volley ball sized colony in <18 months. Second the bali green slimer too - ours is huge in about the same timeframe.

My caliendrum is explosive, but until recently my histrix was a slow grower. Besides the birdsnests, a bright green/yellow milli has become a monster. My pearlberry is the center of my Vortech's attention and loving it. Great growth.

Should we start a sister thread to see what the slower growers are for the same posters??
I'll say my red/green hyacinthus isn't doing much, but it's wrapped by some corals and without the best flow right now.

My doc fosters and smith Birdsnest coral Seriatopora hystrix was a 2 inch frag 4 years ago.
It is now 38 inches around and about 10 inches high.

Birdsnest, pink lemonade, ora hawkins, and red planet for me.

 

[d0ughb0y]

I find ora green birdsnest and bird of paradise birds nest grow pretty fast, but the faster they grow, the more fragile they are. like I barely brush my hand on a branch and a whole big chunk will break off.

one would think many of the pieces mentioned as fast growers should sell really cheap or be given away, but somehow, they are not.

 

[nonstopfishies]

My fastest 2 are a green hydnophora and a green milli. Green slimer definitely grows fast too.

 

[redliner]

My most ugliest poo brown stag. Its always the brown that grow like crazy.

 

[REEF SMAC]

Your least favorite one.

A big +1 to that.^^^^ lol.


Anything that's a staghorn or birdnest grows fast for me.

Palmers Blue too.

 

[Piper27]

Green millies, birdsnest, digis, and a blue staghorn all grew well for me, it really depends where they were in the tank though.
