. What coral, if any, could tolerate such abuse? Was thinking some hardier Zoas or maybe just some GSP? Would likely require occasional turkey baster cleaning but ideally not something that would be completely dependent upon frequent cleanings either. I have mostly considered “encrusting” growth mat species of coral but I’m open to anything that would be a good fit. I’d say flow is moderate, PAR = 120.
