what coral for shady/low flow

Being as i am just getting into corals I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on what corals would be best for a shady area somewhat under a ledge. I have a sand bed so my powerheads are higher in the tank so this would be the lowest flow area. thanks

What lights to you have?

pcs...260W 2-12,000k and 2 actinics

How big is your tank again and what kind of lights do you have?

It is a 55 gallon with pcs

I would think you could have some frogspawn, xeina ,mushrooms ,zoa's annemones,some leathers, I think there is quite a few that you could put in there IMO.
I am running PC's on my nano and the stuff I have in there is doing awsome my xeina are getting way out of control I wish I could take some out but we are running a contest so I want to leave them in there.

Hey obsessed if you find youre self in brainerd let me know i have lots xeina you can have.

that's cool. I get to Brainerd every couple of weeks. thanks I'll let you know when.

If you have any extra I would take some.

I know this was posted last April so I'm kinda late on this but I notcied that you were told that you could do anemones I would say no on that they need alot of light, and a tank that has been up and running for at least a year or more.. if you have a 55 gal tank you would need MH bulbs to give a anemone enough light.. a nano with PC would be OK for a anemone because they are not very deep.. also if a anemone starts to look sick take it out it will kill off you tank they will give off a toxin

Favia's would be a good choice.
