There are non-photosynthetic corals like sun polyps that don't care about light.

Mushrooms! Corallimorphs can get by with very little light, you often see them as "filler" in overhangs and lower areas in many tanks. I wouldn't say zoanthids like low light, but they can tolerate it.

There is also the chili coral you might want to look into. It is dark to bright red and pretty cool and extends in the shadows but shrivels up in bright light.
