I was thinking of adding a rock here to hide the bare bottom glass and I could maybe add a encrusting coral who likes low-medium flow and light on it. Away from my main rock structure.

Ideas ? 20241102_161147.jpg
 
Acans can take low to moderate flow..it's the Par more of a concern
But that's not the OP's question, lol.
Like you asking me what color car to buy and I tell you to get a FWD
 
You'll figure it out good luck
Well you gave solid advice about the op question - what coral can go in that spot/can I put an acan garden there.

I agree par would be my concern.

IMO if par in that spot is 125 or less, ideally 80-100….I would throw some acans in there and see how they do

My apologies I kept it short & tried to mention what's important over flow..Let me give a detailed explanation ..So many in the hobby(i did it also)put lights on the tank slap some power heads & roll the dice not knowing the correct PAR. In that area it's very important to know because that's usually the lowest spot PAR wise. Softies & LPS can handle a wide range of flow so your options are unlimited there unless we're talking SPS. But whatever you put there knowing the correct PAR can help dictate will that coral just stay alive, thrive, or maybe even die if it's too low..but if I had to guess the PAR any Softie or LPS will do just fine there

BTW I had already read your comment saying it was medium flow
