The photo looks like Pocillipora or Montipora.
It's actually a Gorgonian... the photo is slightly misleading. ;)

I read something about using electricity to speed up coral growth. They found (and are already applying) low electricity fields around coral, which seems to speed up the growth a lot compared to unaided coral. It may have something to do with calcium deposition.

You could be right on the money.

"coral farming?"
Yes. I no longer have links to those company web sites. Since then, I had moved and no longer maintain Marine aquariums. Nor the library of Marine funa etc., I had accumulated over a number of years. In short, it is no longer a hobby for me. So I am out of the loop on these type discussions.
