first sps coral suggestions?

i'm wanting to try my hand at some sps corals. what would be a good starter coral that grows fairly fast so i will see results and gain confindence that i am on the right path?
i like the green birdsnest, but don't know if it's a fast grower or not.
any suggestions?

 

I would say any monti wehter it be a cap or a digita birdsnest is ok i never had good luck with them. I guess it is someting you did not want to hear. you pay shipping I will send you a few frags to try your hand in.

 

that's cool! how much would shipping be and how many frags?

 

Monti is excellent. Green birdsnest has been very easy and fast growing IMHO as well.

 

not sure I will look into it I will send you a orange cap, green cap, orange digita, and also a piece of tryee purple rim cap.

all frags of each I will have my buddy ship them for me as he likes to ship stuff all over the states. All I want is actual shipping cost and for you to succeed and get more stuff. ppl helped me when i started so it is time to return the favor.

but what I need to know is what lights are you running? to make sure these will even work with your setup

 

I was about to write a thread cause i was looking for a good Lps to be my first....Are the Frogspawns quick growers?(srry to use ur thread)

 

i would say they are not quick growers but once they start they will keep going. and frog spawn is a Lps

 

First thing that popped in my head before I even opened up this thread was a birdsnest. But I would try out some montipora.... Like LVsuckerfish said either capricornis or digitata. You may enjoy the digitata species best (Ultra Fast Grower)

 

+1 on the Monti Cap. seriously, i think you can actually see mine growing. most people i have talked to say that red grows faster than green, if thats worth anything to you...

 

depends on the tank. My green monti outpaces my red by a longshot. I would say you should also look for someone who has some green slimer. It's an extremely fast growing acro that I would consider fairly easy to keep. Pink Birdsnest is also a safe bet.
