Have a spot for a new coral, need ideas

I have a completely empty rock at the top of my tank. It looks so lonely. I'm trying to think of something I can attach to the top of the rock. The lighting is 440w VHO overdriven by 2 of the new PFO ballasts.

There would be about 6 inches of space from the top of the rock to the top of the water, and is a very high flow area (right in front of the powerhead).

My BTA was there, but moved itself lower in the tank. Apparently, it didn't like the constant flow.

Ideas? It's a high visibility spot, so I'd like something rare.

you might consider Hydnophora spp. (flourescent green variety).

new coral

Not yet. We're having a frag swap at the end of July, so I'm going to wait to see what people bring.

I have been watching a few sites to see if anything catches my eye.
