Please list some corals that you hate because they grow so fast. If you can include pictures that would be awesome. I will add them to my tank to see which one wins.

I have GSP frag, I love them. Not a big fan of Cloves unless they are pretty extra ordinary.

Yup. They will attack their neighbors. Many encrusting stonies will take over large areas of rock.

As for the poicillipora, I swear it would grow in the back of a toilet.
The attacking part that I know of, but I always though that their growth was very manageable.

A 4 inch kenya tree I got in November, has now filled out my tank all by itself. I don't hate it, but dread the day I have to clear a spot.

Edit: I posted this before reading the thread. I might have to start pulling rock to scrape them now.
