Low light not really any coral that is easy. average light you can do zoas, star polyps, mushrooms, toadstools, basic softies. I’d wait a while. It takes a while (a few months) for things to stabilize. Coral need stability.

Also depends what your definition of low light is. Blue spectrums seem low but can grow coral like a mother. Whites seem bright but don't give off enough lumes.
If you truely want coral at some point, don't cheap out on the lights. Leds are more costly to buy but cheaper and cooler to run

Without a picture I can only guess on the white spots. If they're crawling on the glass, rocks or sand bed they could be Amphipods. If they're swimming through the water column they could be Copepods.
