    I love me some lps and softies but my tank seems to be more geared towards SPS *sigh*. I want to try some sps, maybe I will catch the "sps bug." I already have a green birdnest that is growing out of control. What are some other cool and typically fast growing sps I could try?

    I have had a lot of luck growing Hydnophora sp. it grows like a weed and I am constantly fragging off pieces.
