Within the hobby, several gorgonia species are not photosynthetic, as are dendronephtyas and scleronephthyas, which are bright red and orange, and often called carnation corals. Studeriotes, or the Christmas Tree Coral, is also, but less commonly, available.

You will need good filtration or small coral, even then I'm not sure that scleronephthyas could be kept without multiple feedings a day.
The hardiest for me was sun coral, then - almost glowing tangerine color Swiftia (gorgonian), heard that the next should be Menella (gorgonian, different colors), next - red or yellow finger gorgonian (Diodogorgia).
Wouldn't recommend blueberry and tiniest polyps gorgonians. Chili is very questionable and scleronephthya will need very intensive feeding.
Christmas tree worms are good, but porites will need good light, and worms - some regular feeding.
