I watched it for about 2 minutes straight.

Who says sps don't move? You just have to watch them longer.

I get stuck on it too! Someone in another thread said that it was like a heart beat, now whenever I watch it I hear heart sounds.

Thanks all!!
I think that this growth rate may not be all that fast actually. I really thought that my corals were not growing at all until I saw this comparison. It's really hard to tell when you see the tank for hours each day.
Set something like this up!!! It's cheap! I think you might be shocked at what is going on in there
I'd love to see other threads like this to compare to.

Here is the camera I have that captured this, it takes photos every 15 min during the light period. The eventual goal is a timelapse, something like 30 seconds of film = 6 months of growth.
The Camera was about $28, it's 5 megapixel, and the Raspberry Pi was about $35. It runs linux and there are lots of instructables out there about how to configure it to take the pictures. I mounted it to a car cell phone holder and stuck it to the tank:

Sure - this is simply a raspberry pi with a raspberry pi cam attached to it. I think these links are allowed:
Camera (Click)
Raspberry Pi (better than mine, quad core)
This is great for a computer hobbyist because it runs a special distro of Linux, but there are apps you can even run on an old cell phone that would do the same thing for people looking at a more plug and play solution.

That's amazing, snails and a fish grew out of thin air.
