I'm thinking of Gorgonia pterogorgia, Menella sp, Diodogorgia nodulifera, and maybe a Muriceopsis flavida(I know its a photosynthetic species, how strong lighting do they need? Will a 10 watt PC light thats 50/50 work?), a few very nice colorful feather dusters?, and Maybe a carnation coral? What kind of corals would you suggest? How about an electric flame scallop? Will the 2 gallon tank be too small for the electric flame scallop? I know, my stock list is huge...
I reccommend ditching the 2 photosynthetic gorgonians (because they require high lighting) and the carnation (because they are significantly more difficult to keep alive). Try Menella and Diodogorgia sp. They have similar care needs (zooplankton of fairly large size, good flow, low light, etc) and are easier than some other non-photo corals (they're still difficult, just easier than some others).
I would nix the flame scallop, too, becuase it will need seperate care that differs from the others and is also harder to keep.
I still think you have issues to solve with your tank setup, but I think you can design better when you choose your lovestock first.
