none. they only eat, swim poop and mess around your coral. I haven't hear that any fish will promote coral growth. the question should be. what fish won't eat your corals or disturb them.

what corals are you keeping?

Reef safe Wrasses will eat critters of you corals that are bad. For ex nudis, red bugs, flat worms, etc. Which will help the corals.

Corals need some ammonia and nitrate to survive. This is typically provided by fish or fish food. You don't need much however, and any eeding, no matter how little, should be more than necessary.
