I have a 55 gal tank that I set up to keep things in when I moved three years ago. It has some live rock, two peppermint shrimp, two cleaner shrimp, mushrooms and a lot of worms and pods. I started stocking it with some low light corals recently and they are doing great. I had a carnation shipped DOA but put the(what I thought was)rock into the tank anyway. The carnation is starting to come back it several places and what it was mounted on is some sort of oblong clam.
The point is that I feed a variety of different food, cyclop-eeze, brine and mysis shrimp and lately phytoplankton, and only add water never change. Everything is healthy and thriving. I have a black sun in this tank and a couple chili corals and nitrate levels are minimal. The sun coral is shown in the photo gallery and in the foreground you can see the clam? with the carnation that has just started to grow back.
Best of luck if you set something up for the low light corals. I might be lucky but haven't found it that difficult.

I know they aren't corals but they still look nice.

The Fox Coral = Nemenzophyllia turbida

This will grow in indirect light - in my tank they have shown die back to the shade line - sometimes listed as medium light, or even high light - but do prefer lower light levels. Very nice looking, soft appearing LPS. I wish I had more shade in my tank - it is too bright.

Do a web search - here is a pretty good photo of one I found on Google
