I have an empty clam shell. Approx 6 inches long, 4 inches tall, 4 inches wide, maybe a 1.5 inch gap at the top where the two halves come together.

It's pretty enough on its own, but I'm wondering whether there isn't some type of coral that might like living inside and adding some color. Water flow would be low, for sure. It would only get light on two sides, but I could place it so it gets light from the top. So lets call it moderate light.

I can't believe I'm the first person to have thought of this. Has anyone tried? Any successes?
 
I had sucess with cypahsteria and leptos. Both low light corals. My flow was pretty good though.
