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.

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.
