8 months later...
So I bought 4 frags at MACNA when it was in Houston last year. I took some pictures to compare growth, and I thought I'd share. So to start, what was sold to me as an Acropora tenuis. First, right after I bought it.
And today. Probably the slowest growth of the 4 frags. It seems to have thickened, and it's well encrusted, but thats about it.

Next, an Acropora millepora, I bought it as a Rose millepora.
And now. This one has done quite a bit better. Kind of blurry, but you get the idea.

Next, what I think is an Acropora florida, though it may be a yongei. When I bought it...
And today.
I think I got these first three from Coral Dynamics, but I'm not certain.

And a birdsnest. This has been, by far, the fastest growing thing in my tank. I've fragged it about four times, and you can't even tell. Here's when I got it.
And today. I had to move it up front to get a good picture, normally it's not so close to the other corals in this picture. It's probably 5-6" across.

I agree! I like when things change classifications from "frag" to "colony"... and this is on the verge.
