What's your favorite low light livestock?
I am slowly populating the tank you see below in my sig. I want to put things down on the substrate or on low rock. I currently have shrooms, Xenia, chili, rics, and a recent chalice purchase down in that area, and they are doing well.
So, how about some suggestions on lower light livestock? Flow can be variable, from lower flow to high flow depending on where I put them. I am open to anything, softies, stonies, polyps, whatever. What's you favorite? Thanks!

Tubastraea (Sun Coral) absolutely my favorite. The toughest part about them is feeding each head every day to every other day.
I also have a Christmas Favia in extremely low light, under a cliff with no direct light. It grows very very well there.

I usually put GSP in the low light areas and it does fine. Just make sure its not touching another rock or else it will spread right on to it
