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

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.

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. HTH

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.
