fastest growing corals
 
Take out the GSP and the zenia, how would you rate the fastest growing corals by type?

IME

leathers, mushrooms for softies

sps would be seriotopa..... then pocillapora........as well as montipora digitata, montipora capricornis

as far as LPS...., nothing grows faster than a candy cane IME

zoanthids! PPEs grow fast and can go for 30+ a polyp, RPEs 10+ a polyp.

Its all relevant to how clean or dirty your tank is.

zoanthids and mushrooms love dirty water.....it wont alwasy necessarily give you the best color......but they will grow fast as long as it isnt so bad as to be dangerous

and who pays $10 a polyp for RPE's?? I want their email address. :lol:

Clove polyps also grow pretty fast.

My frogspawn has grown to be about 800% larger then when I got it a year ago.

Some species of mushroom grow very fast, others slow, same tank IME.

Zoo's do good if you treat them right.

Caps also grow pretty quick for me.

monti digitata and pocillapora for me.
also when frogspawns get going, they grow fast. their skeleton is really flimsy so I see why they can make a boatload of it in a hurry.

where do favites fit in this growth rate?

mg426 12/10/2007 08:15 PM

Montiporas grow pretty quickly.

plummike 12/10/2007 08:29 PM

Star polyps, clove, frogspawn, Rics

In my tank pipe organ is growing incredibly fast.

saltycreefer 12/10/2007 08:39 PM

Pipe organ does grow really fast.^^^

Frick-n-Frags 12/10/2007 08:50 PM

yeah, pipe organ is a gorgonian with racing stripes, also very flimsy skeleton that builds fast.
