Is there an SPS or LPS that can survive my tank?

I have a mostly SPS/LPS 45 gal tank and am wanting to add one more. The problem I've run into is that all the prime real estate high in my tank is used up. All that's safe to place another at is dead center on, or just a few inches above the sand bed. This is partially under a shelf, and subsequently has only partial light from my PC's.
Is there an SPS or LPS that can withstand low, indirect light and moderate flow so close to the sand?

Standard 45? i.e. 21ish inches tall?

Also can you provide more details on your lighting.

Try LiveAquaria.com and Put the SPS and LPS into the search and when you see a coral you like click on it! . In the info on that coral it will tell you where it should be placed in the tank.

dont you have to feed suncoral like every day? that sounds like a hassle to me.

Not every day, couple times a week less/more. They're usually not picky as long as you shoot a little their way when feeding the fish.
