coral recommendations

I'm trying to figure out a good coral for this rock. The long one in the middle., I'm saving the top ones for now lol.

it is about halfway up and gets a good amount of light and flow. I was thinking chyphastrea, but worry if might be too much light. I would like something encrusting I think, but not anything like GSP. I'm drawing a blank on any higher lighting flow loving encrusting corals at the moment, but this naked right half of my tank is bothering me right now haha. Maybe it's all the meds I'm on whilst battling this random infection, that the dr cant figure out, that is making my brain not work lol. Yeah, I'm gonna blame it on the meds

so does anyone have any recommendations for this particular rock? Pics are appreciated also

I have a rock like that, I have yellow polyps and red mushrooms on it. They won't encrust it, but they will cover it. I'd get a picture, but they already closed up for the night.

Looks like a perfect spot for an encrusting Monti imo. A lot of light and flow and it will grow quickly given the right conditions.

Side note: From PGH? Cool me too!

I think I want to stear clear of softies in that area. That toadstool isn't even staying there. I'm just waiting for him to grow a bit more before putting him on the sand bed. And maybe a Monti would work. I have another spot where chyphastrea would probably be happier anyway. And yep, PGH born and raised lol.
