Saw the other post about Acro's earlier and got me curious. I've got a pretty fast growing stylo and a setosa starting to come into its own.

Monti Cap (Montipora capricornis), and Bird 's Nest (Seriatopora), grow like weeds in my tank. They are considered "beginner" SPS, in part because of them being pretty hardy.

Another vote for monti caps. Digitata can grow pretty fast too.

Digitata and sour apple bird's nest seems to grow crazy fast even compared to my other birds.

Monti caps and birdsnest corals are the number one growers. The birdsnest with round tips normally grows a little faster than the hysterix for me.

Pink birdsnest , Boomberry acropora , sunset montipora ( encrusting) all are fast for me . However the sunset montipora is the beauty winner IMO

Purple Stylo grows like weeds, as a result you can get frags for very cheap.
