So I picked a blasto up from someone and it had about 5 heads. This was about 3 weeks ago. When I picked it up it was freshly cut and had a bunch of white tissue showing. Since then it’s grown about 5 new tiny heads and the area that was cut has healed up. I was under the impression that Blastos were a slow growing LPS or is there certain kinds that are faster? I’ve included a picture of the second day I got it (sorry it’s eating in the pic) to now.

Although you are extremely lucky and I hate you, faster than normal growth on cut parts isn't abnormal, in fact some people frag their corals to encourage growth.
 
Oh ok awesome I didn’t realize there was different types of blastos.
