Mushrooms, zoos, leathers on the top of the rocks, trees(kenya, colt, capnella) ont he top of rocks, Xenia, green star polyps, suncurst polyps, not a lot, with that size tank, your best bet would be Metal halides, becuase they are the only ones that can penetrate the bottom(that is without a ton of them)

So if my math's right, that's 640W of VHO over your tank; that's quite a bit of light. Depending on the depth of your tank, I would say you could keep anything that MontiDanae mentioned plus quite a few types of LPS and maybe even have success with some of the Montipora species of SPS.

idk if he has all those bulbs over it, maybe looking for choices?
but if you did have that much VHO, 640W thats pretty bright! and you would be able to keep all those things, SPS, only low light ones like montiporas(some) and deep water acros.

how tall is the tank? I'd say you could keep just about anything you wanted. I would not suggest clams or SPS but there are a few you might be able to keep.
