What coral grows fastest in your tank. Is it something usual like xenia, or do you have unusual luck growing acroporas from sticks to basketballs?

I have great luck with my GSP and my Lunar Eclipse palys.

I've noticed my Torch, Hammers and Frogs are all splitting... I would have to say those...
Although I got a Lobo recently about a month and a half ago and it already split a new head... Since that is more noticeable in size you can see that vs the splitting euphyllia heads.
So its a toss between the two, I think the Lobo is starting to slit another as well, but we'll see in a month if that's what is happening.
I have 1 acro, a green slimer and its almost dead... Im having trouble with that one... it bleached first, then i moved higher and it turned brown, i moved to another spot now with less light and hoping it recovers...
My other guys have no noticeable growth but look happy.
My acan is a frag that was receding but now opens up and lays on a neighboring rock but no new heads yet. I do see it react to flow and such, like if i baste over it, it closed immediately which i like to see... Some reaction is a good sign.
Blasto opens up big but no new heads either.
Favia colors up but nothing noticeable either....

Cool how different tanks cause different growths. Another thing that grows a lot for me is my favia. In three months it went from five mouths to fifteen.

My fastest when my old tank was up was probably my sympodium he started an inch across an in a month he grew 1 inch more. He grew like Gsp. Well that's until hair algae suffocated his overall 7" in diameter colony.

My dunan is the fastest grower for me. I've had it for a month and it has 5 new heads growing almost fast enough to see!
