Slowest and fastest from my 40 breeder: gold torch slow and armor of gods fast. Went from 5 to 50 heads in about 3 months and the gold torch was one head the entire time I had it.

Fastest would be Screaming Green Birdsnest SPS.
Slowest would be Utter Chaos Palys. Probably because I count daily. Lol

My fastest growing corals would be the AOG, Mary Janes and vivid rainbow acropora.
Slowest growing coral will be the paradise zoa and superman rhodactis

I agree Troy
My Oregon tort is like dead slow but I love the way it's shooting out branches upwards from the base . Probably has 20 branches making em a mini colony . Can't wait this to grow

They are beautiful!! I've had mine for a little over 2 years, and its grown from 1.5" to around 8" or so. I hate to frag it because it takes so long for it to grow back. On the other hand, my Cali tort has become like a weed in my tank.

Dam Typo error or serious 8" ....
There are not many 8" Oregon tort probably in the country

Yes I would say around 8". However mine isn't as bushy as yours. Rather it grows more elongated like a cali tort.

Fast grower: Gatorade Zoa's, Duncan, and my Digitata
Slow Grower: Garf Bonsai, Spongodes ( this dude is a Hulk, no real growth but those polyps are everywhere), Blue Ridge Coral

I had a bit of a phosphate issue that I was stripping the Ca from the water. I just changed my GFO last week and everything is taking off again.

Fastest for me would be a toss up between two types of birdsnest, Purple and orange cap, and Hybrid frogspawn. Slowest I have are a couple types of un-named SPS that just sit there. What is amazing is after all these years of protecting my SPS from Frogspawn and GSP, most of the SPS now stands on its own and doesn't let themselves be taken over.

Fast SPS is my Red Dragon and Setosa.

Slow SPS is my Rose Milli , still the same frag after a year.

LPS all doing real well

Zoas are just ok

Curious, those of you who have gone from MH to LEDs or vice versa. Did you have the same results? If not which corals grew better/worse? I found Milles did much better for me under MH.
