    Lots of them actually.

    Almost all softies will spread very well.

    There are lots of SPS corals that spread too.

    What kind are you looking for?

    Some of the more hardy corals that will accomplish what you are asking are Montipora, Pavona and Porites. As for Octocorals(Soft corals) Zoanthids, Star Polyps, Kenyon Tree corals and Xenia.

    Aiptasia do pretty well. I would avoid them like the plague though.

    As others have said, plating coral, zoas, star polps, Xenia, so forth.

    Gsp,xenia,anthelia and kenya spread pretty quickly.But lots of corals will move onto other rocks,and many grow at different paces.What type of corals are you wanting?
