Suggestions on filling in a high spot

Hi all! I'm looking for input on what kind of coral to put on top of the live rock on the right hand side- something to cover up the skimmer pump & even out the two sides (the GSP on the left is the highest point in the tank). I have 2 40w PCs (plus actinic), giving me just over 5w/gal. I already had a few branches of xenia growing there that weren't happy in that spot, so maybe something else. Any ideas?

Maybe some type of Xenia?
And just some advice... if you want a coral to spread rather quickly and multiply by the dozens, this is the coral for you. If not I'd stay far away from it! It's not like it's a bad thing but many people have preferences/ opinions about this coral.
Mine spread way too quickly so I cut it all off and swore this coral would never be placed in the tank again. (Also it was a small 12 gallon so the space it took up was alot!)
To each his own>>> Personally I would love to have this coral in my tank b/c it's so pretty and peaceful looking when it flows but I just cannot have it spreading like it did!

Frogspawn., but dont let it get too close to the inlet or outlet of that PH. Watch out for that aiptasia too. Fast growers adn can quickly bring demise to a tank.

Ah, I hadn't thought of frogspawn- I didn't think I could keep it with my lighting. It would be great if I can! As for the aipstasia, we used to have 2, but I killed the other when it decided it wanted to live on my gsp. If this one ever decides to move, it'll go too. So far (almost a year now) it hasn't caused any problems.
