What are some corals that do well at the top

I have several areas in my tank that are near the top with bright light and heavy flow. Trying to find some corals that would do well in those areas. Here is a pic:

Goes without saying: acropora. A tabling variety could make a nice overhang

Agreed. Most acropora are found in relatively shallow water which have high flow.

I agree on the acros, but I try to keep my tables towards the middle/bottom. A big table can shade out a large section of tank and make planting others under it impossible.
