Default Fastest growing

Can you tell me what the fastest growing corals are. Under MH lighting and excellent water conditions.

I have a green star polyp (i think thats what it is) that will NOT stop growing. I have to basically rip off chunks at a time. So far most of the chunks have just been moved to different sides of the tank, but sooner or later it'll either be the garbage can or I start figuring out how to sell it.

I also have peach brarium (that spelling can't be right) that I absolutely love and it spreads all over the place, but for some reason I'm okay with that. It's like pink grass blowing in the water.

Under the correct conditions, seamats can go crazy, as well.

I can certainly sell it for pretty darn cheap. I don't know how to officially frag it though...would you want it on a piece of shell/rock? Or free?

Dolce, it is easy. Get yourself a razor blade or scapel and cut through the mat. It cuts easily. If you have a rock frag, use some loctite superglue and/or rubberband to attach it and then toss it back into the tank for a awhile to make sure you didn't hurt anything.

Alright, free with shipping and I'll attempt a couple frags. I moved a bunch of stuff around in the tank so I'm gonna let it sit for a day or two and then try it out.

Haha please...all I do is sit and stare at my tank when I come home from work. This'll give me something to do.

I'll just need help with figuring out how to bag them. I'm nervous I'll mess it up somehow. Maybe I can snag a couple bags from my LFS to hold it in?

Is there a forum already up about how to properly ship corals?

I work at a lab and have acess to tons of boxes I can use, but I'll also need styrofoam, right?

I looked a little online and it says you can get away with packing some corals with just a damp paper towel...that seems crazy right?

I am not 100% sure how to ship. But dont ship unless you know that you are doing it correctly.
