Some of the Faster SPS Growers?

What are some of the faster SPS growers?  I have two acros (forget their names) that are grwoing really slow.  The stylopora is growing at a decent speed and the elkhorn is grwoing like a weed.  I have some milepora and staghorn coning in the week and I will bet they are slow growers too.  And lets just assume that the tank conditions are right on, when you state which ones are faster.  Thanks.

My Valida and Nana grow at a moderate speed. My milli's grow new branches, but don't get too much taller for me. I also think all my milli's are tablers, so that might have something to do with it. Digi's grow quickly for almost everyone except me, LOL  My fastest growing SPS is my Vermiculatta (sp) and my GARF Bonsai.

Good info.  I was going to but the valida from the same guy but it is an ORA piece and put me over my budget.

+2 - mine has doubeled at least since I got it ~3 months ago, and it now is the size of an orange. Looks really cool too with all those thousands of small polyps erect and feeding. I like the color of it over the pink birds nest.

Birds nests are cool but I thought they could be hard to keep.  I wonder if it has anything to do with the color you get.

This is what I've got - it grows 2x as fast as the pink birdsnest - and if I can keep it, it ain't hard to keep!

Good to know.  Might have to try one out one day.

This is another coral that seems to really be taking off, growing faster than any plating coral i've ever had: (and it's really pretty with eyes GREENER or brighter than pictured)
