Looking to add coral to FOWLR

[1911_guy]

I am curious to see what I can get away with in my FOWLR system.
I would like suggestions as to what might be a good add.
I just added some Tonga Branch and rearranged my LR so I have a platform closer to my light source, for coral.
Here's my setup:
75g (48X18X20) w/55g long sump...skimmer and about 15-20 ounces Chaeto
80 lbs. live sand
@135 lbs. live rock
3 astrea snails
3 small hermits
chocolate chip starfish (I want to trade or donate)
banded coral shrimp (I would like some more shrimp....may have to trade him too)
9 blue green reef chromis
2 white stripe maroon clowns
lawnmower blenny
yellow eye kole tang
coral beauty angelfish
Here's the potential problems...
265 watt PC lighting (not halides)
chocolate chip star and coral banded shrimp
the kole tang doesn't seem to eat any veggies I give him (nori, chaeto, or the red hair algae growing on the rocks)...soooo, I don't think I'll have a problem with him picking at polyps.
I would like to add a small amount of any coral and watch it grow, is this a bad idea in my system??? :help:
Thanks :happyfish

No problems at all.
You can keep any soft coral and LPS.

Lighting not an issue?
LFS uses fluorescent on their tanks and I've never seen anything look unhealthy in there. I know to stay away from clams and anenomes but other than that, no issues?

Nope.
I had 260 watts of PC over my 55 gallon and my LPS and softies grew like crazy.
Remember, the watts per gallon rule is pretty much useless. Your tank is only 20" deep, so the lighting will definately be sufficient.
Heck, I have a frogspawn, a toadstool leather, and some shrooms in my 5 gallon at work under a 20 watt PC and they grow quite fast.
If you are concerned about it, then start with some shrooms or even a frogspawn.
