    Hello, I have a 28g jbj nano cube and I have a spot in my tank that gets low lighting a flow. There are no corals there so I would like to get it filled in. I'm open to any suggestions because I have idea! It seems like it gets a little shape but not too bad.
    Any thoughts?

    do an nps, there are many gorgonians or sea whips but those are fairly difficult with target feedings an all that. you could also do some sun polyps.

    Sun polyps would be good. Red or Black

    NPS are difficult to keep as water conditions can severely swing negatively due to multiple feedings required. If your filtration is sufficient, go for it!

    they are difficult, but i guess that the price you pay for not having to have freaking expensive lighting! haha.

    I don't think filtration should be a problem. But target feeding may be a problem if that is necessary.

    Several mushrooms and leathers would enjoy that area. :) You'll need to research individual species for the right ones, though.
