Absolute fastest for me, montipora in any form: fragged, it heals in days. It grows off the slightest piece. Foliosa, digitata, it's all good. Change is evident from one day to the next.
Of my others, has to be the bluish acropora aculeus: always extended, not great color, but grows about an eighth of an inch a week. Accidentally fragged, the 1" frag extended polyps the next morning from top to bottom and the mother colony hasn't noticed anything is missing.
Other coral types in tank: slimer [ok growth], stylophora [not great growth], pocillopora [not great], and a blue stag that's pretty good, a valida holds its own, high color, not much growth. I seem to do best with blue corals, whether that's a luck of the draw or what.
My conditions: 250 Ushio mh 10000 [red bias], Sea Swirl, feed cyclopeeze daily for the fish, phyto nightly for the pods. 400 cal, 8.3 alk. Not in the least a clean tank, but pretty steady.
