A pinch of salt may aid coral growth:
"By exposing embryonic coral cells to concentrated salt water, researchers at St. Louis' World Aquarium have been able to accelerate the growth of this notoriously sluggish species.
'With this rate of growth, we think coral-reef growth can be dramatically altered across the planet,' said Leonard Sonnenschein, president of the World Aquarium."
How all so very fascinating.
This is probably what was being referred to in an earlier post I made. Sounds like they are just able to propogate certain corals faster, not necessarily grow out older specimans faster (but who knows... maybe they'll find out).
