    What corals should I be looking to get that grow quickly? Or get bigger faster?

    A little info about your setup. Like tank, sump, fish, and what corals do you have now and how are they doing? How long has tank been running?

    29 gal. Hob filter and hob skimmer. Some zoas, some palys, favia, a frogspawn. 2 clowns, bangaii cardinal, talbot damsel, green banded gobi. A peppermint shrimp, trochus snails, a turbo snail and recently with some new live rock some teeny tiny crabs. Have to ask xroads what kind they are. Was from the live rock he got. Also, just got leds a week ago. Hope to get them hung this weekend.

    Also, corals doing fine, just not multiplying fast enough. Forgot, a few mushrooms, and one of them has dropped 3 little ones on the shell the original one was on.

    Sounds like a nice little setup. I am thinking the green crabs are emerald crabs.
    If your looking for fast growing. Get some more soft corals. Green star polops, some pulsing xenia, more mushrooms and zoas and palythoas. All are fairly fast growers depending on tank.
    Some tanks grow different things better than others.
    I like more common zoas and mushrooms cause they spread pretty fast but can take over a tank pretty quick.

    If you want something simple that grows tall like a tree you could try a colt cauliflower coral or Kenya tree.
