Question High flow corals?

Got an empty area in a very high flow and medium light. Any suggestions for a softy that would enjoy such conditions would be welcome.

Xenia seem to thrive in high flow. I have a mostly SPS tank so here is ton's of flow everywhere. My rics seem to do ok but they open a lttle more in lower flow. GSP love high flow and my Fiji leather seemed to do well in high flow, it keeps crud from building up on them. Zoas don't seem to mind either.

Fiji Yellow Leathers would be good, Gorgonians, or as Opes mentioned Zoa's .

Not to be disagreeable, but IME Xenias don't like high flow, and Fiji Yellow Leathers need lots of light.

Gorgonians would be an excellent choice!

And....not what you asked for, but there are plenty of SPS that would like those conditions (Pocillopora, Seriatopora etc.)

Regular ole toadstools would love the conditions you described. Sinularis would do OK also.

My toadstools love being right in the flow, gorgs are good too. My pagoda doesn't seem to mind being right next to my powerhead either.
