i am looking to buy some new corals, but want to put them higher in my tank . They need to be able to take high flow since i have 2 hob aquaclear 110's for main flow. My lighting is 4 t5's 54w each, not experienced enough nor ready for SPS if anyone could give me suggestions on some corals i could put high in my tank that could hand flow that would be awesome ! :)

hi
SPS would be your best bet, but I've seen some LPS like chalices and a couple softies like leathers do well in high flow. You could also try montis, poci's, or bird's nests, which are all easy SPS.

In terms of reef aquariums, those hang on back filters don't generate a high rate of flow especially compared to even smaller powerheads. But, if you don't have any yet you could try Green Star Polyps, they're an easy soft coral that will do well high in your tank.

Leathers love high flow and top of the tank. Easy to take care of (virtually no care). And can get nice and large. If you go with something like a toadstool leather when it gets large, your clowns (if you have any) may host it like an anenome, and they don't get damaged like other corals that clowns host.

hi
You could get another leather? if it isn't ridiculous amounts of flow (doesn't sound like you), then you could probably get away with some zoas.

You can also try a galexia, they'll do ok towards the top of your tank.

Different zoanthids would also work good.
