I'm setting up a FOLWR but would like to add an encrusting coral to cover a large dead coral I have in the tank (pic attached). It's a really big piece and would look awesome with some good color. I will have non-reef safe angels and other non-reef safe fish, and low light for this tank. Is anything an option that won't get eaten, other than GSP? Looking for something with good color but handles low light well and won't get eaten. Is Cyphastrea or an encrusting Monti an option? Suggestions??

Cyphastrea would be the better of the two choices (it could take a really, really long time to spread unless you plan to use a dozen or more frags). A space invader pectinia would look really wild encrusted on this!

Wow that would look amazing! It's hard to tell from my pic, but this coral is about 28" across.
