What is the average growing time for this type of coral? I love how it's progressed but at this rate (4 months) I'm going to have to move it before my final tank is ready (about 5 months).

I don't have any favia yet, but word on the street is they are very slow growers. Probably one of the slowest. It looks like you're actually getting very good growth in 4 months.
 
My Christmas Favia grows fairly slow, but it has been growing down towards the edges of the frag for a while now. Where it has reached horizontal surface, it has started taking off.
 
It took me eight years to convert a frag exactly that size and strain into this bowling ball :) 8 lbs wet:

War corals are so cool, mine shares tight spaces without warring. I think my war coral has low T

Your lucky I got one back in December the same size as your first pic here we are in June and it's still the same exact size have zero growth on it
 
The key for me is literally roti feast and roe eggs by reef nutrition. Last three years on that stuff/fastest growth.

I find that any lighting designed for reefs they'll adapt to, but something about direct feeding twice a month since forever, using those cold feeds, is the most mass it could have been fragged fifty times but we r going boulder in the pico here.
Forgot to put a hand or something next to it for sale. It's sitting on a dinner plate.
She was grown in one gallon total water, barely enough to cover the coral.

The way it was grown without poisoning the water was by simply only feeding at water change time. Feed/wait hour/change water. Simple routine long time
