Hi all,

My tank is 2ft deep with around 125-140PAR at the sandbed; I have a couple spots I'm looking at. I'm looking for suggestions for corals than would do well down there. I'll most likely put them on a little standalone liverock "island". The flow is pretty high in one location and pretty high and turbulent in the other.

I think I'm open to more or less anything. Whaddya think?

Thanks!

Pavona/potatochip coral.
This works well in most lighting and was on the bottom of my 120.

Cynarina, Acanthophyllia, Indophylla are good choices. Lithophyllon also grows really well in low light, as well as various species of Anacropora.

And these will do okay in high and/or turbulent flow?
