My setup grows candy canes very fast. Went from 4 heads to well over 200 in maybe 3 years. I had to add a second frag tank. Same with branching hammer corals, seem to grow very fast
 
Upgraded from my old system to new system in February. So almost 8 months. Handful of additions and some things have moved around. The last couple pics are fairly recent. Things grow at a decent rate i can easily see from month to month new branches and the bases spreading across the rocks. Some things are of course slower then others. My green birdsnest will outpace any coral in the tank though. Ive probably grown that to basketball size from a frag 3 times in the last 2 years between both tanks.

Kinda on the beginner/budget end of the spectrum but ricordea seem to like my tank.
Below is a little less than a year -- 7/2022-5/2023
*scale is deceiving but you can see each has split and each new section is much larger than original frag

*previously, I might have said zoanthids -- went crazy for the first year but have been in a 6+ month tailspin for some reason -- none dead/gone but they've been looking pretty decrepit for a while now
