Anyone know of a good low light/high flow coral?

We have VHO lighting, so I know I can't to SPS...
But...we have one spot in our tank where there's not much light (at the end of the tank, where the light seems to not reach as well), but there's a strong current in that spot. I tried putting some mushrooms there at first, but they were just getting blown all over & I didn't want to tear them up, so I moved them to a happy spot.
But...this spot is quite bare & needs something pretty. The closest thing to it is a spaghetti leather, but because of the flow pattern, it leans away from the bare spot, so nothing would be touching it.
Anyone have a suggestion? I read that an orange tree coral might do well, but then another site said it was for experienced tank people only...I guess because they require food (which we do Phytoplankton & Marine Snow already for our other corals) & are not photosynthetic.
Anyone have experience with Orange Tree Coral, or any suggestions for a low light/high flow coral???
Thanks!

You could add a orange tube coral, they are a low light med/high flow coral. They require feeding but what you feed should be good. The scientific name is Tubastraea sp. Ive added one to my tank in a similar spot and it is one of the best looking coals out there IMO.
