it's amazing the growth rates on certain sps. I have a blue tipped stag that is growing like a weed.

I would say my Elkhorn grows the fastest...it's truly a weed, a good one

My blue tip stag is my fastest, The next fastest would be my purple and orange digitata.

My purple Montipora cap is really slow...

grwoth is highly affected by flow, so the fastest grwoing sps in your tank is getting the best flwo in the tank.
