Post your fastest growing SPS please! Pics welcome! (Assume "normal" stable parameters)
 
Digitata montipora, in this case superman digitata montipora

My Rainbow Birdnest is growing too fast. I keep trimming it and taking off frags, but it's still taking over.

I like the way you did the progression shots, pretty cool. That thing grows like a weed!

M. capriconis and M. digitata (blonde and brown in particular, but Geman blue is a weed as well).

M. cap. pictured below in my 36x18x18 below. Including classics red and green as well as Idaho Grape, that mass of cap has a diameter (and filling in the corners) of about 22"x18". (Not including the huge Hydnophora plate under/beneath the red and purple...not so fast a grower, but huge. :))

It's incredible the amount of size they put on each week when they were mini-colonies. (Less obvious once they get bigger.)
