Default high flow corals

I have an area in my tank that I can't seem to keep anything in because no matter what I do the flow is too high due to my filter. Does anyone have some suggestions for corals that like a stronger flow?

Try a colt coral or a LPS of some type of your liking.. Yellow polyps maybe ?

if the flow is too strong i don't know if i'd go with LPS. LPS tends to thrive in medium flow areas and "dirtier" (no skimmer) water for that matter....JMO. you could try a leather coral (might need to incorporate a carbon medium into your set-up) or zoanthids usually will tolerate any environment.

Many Acropora's and Montipora's will do well with stronger water movement! However, your lighting may be a problem as these corals require pretty intense lighting, especially to capture the vibrant and true colors or these wonderful small polyp stonies!
For soft corals, Colt, Kenyan, Xenia, Clavularia, Polyclavularia, and Anthelia. You may want to try a Gorgonian, a Sponge or Star polyps!
