Given the proper conditions, what is the fastest growing SPS? Montipora capricornis maybe? How about an encrusting type SPS rather than a branching species?

Monticaps, Montipora Digitata grows like a freaking weed. I have a big rock of christmas tree worms and the Porites on it encrusts super fast.

As everyone else has said montis. My orange, and superman monti grow like crazy. Other than birdsnest by other fastest growing is a yellow tort that i love. It also happens to be my favorite so its awesome that it grows so well.

I can't get good pics but here you go. I grew the yellow tort form a less than 1/2 frag not that long ago, I've fragged it 3 times since.

These are two of the frags of yellow tort. Hardest thing to take a picture of in my tank. Bright yellow polyps, light yellow base, and light purple tips.   





Anybody know what this is. SUPER bright yellow, with yellow/neon greenish polyps?

For me its my pocillapora. The stuff spawns in my tank and grows everywhere. I had to break out as much as I could and try to kill off what I could when moving the tank a couple months ago and now it's making a come back.
