IYO What is the fastest growing coral?

I want to try some SPS corals.......so I'm especially interested in those. But mostly want to know what you guys out there think grows the fastest.

most of your montiporas grow real fast seriotopora hystryx and sariotopora callendrium grow real fast as well as many of the stylophoras. if you want acros a lot of the staghorns grow real quick. but you'll find what grows fast for someone else may not like your tank as much so just experement and find what does best for you.

This is a great coral, could be acro formosa (the first SPS to survive in my tank). In these parts it's known as Ed's blue tip, Ed Rollins that is.
Heres an older pic of mine

Staghorns are usually incredibly fast growers when they are happy. I had a green with blue tip stag that grew at least an inch a month. However, I lost it due to some sort of problem my tank was having for awhile.
