Some nice dendrophyllia would work there. But, you will have to spot feed as they are non photosynthetic.

I'm not sure it will get enough light under those rocks.

Do they need to be feed frequently?Focus on NPS corals since they won't require the light to grow. Some nice fathead dendros or a sun coral. You can see both below.

I worry about how often they need to be fed?

Yes...you have to spot feed NPS. I feed my tank heavily and have them both within the flow for where food circles the tank. And then I directly feed them both twice a week.
My dendros started just as 2 heads and now have another 10 growing all around them. My sun coral is newer and has definitely been harder to get to open. For the sun coral, look at a black or yellow one...they seem easier than the solid orange.

I spot feed mine twice a week. They are also in the loop of the downflow of my gyre so the get fed as well with broadcasting

Hmm...I've kept them under overhangs and whatnot in the past, but if that's the case, then you don't really have too much option other than the dendro's and sun coral as suggested above.

Sun corals are great IMO. The one problem that you may have in an enclave like that is flow. It has been my experience that sun corals need moderate flow or they end up getting what looks to be spider webs growing on them and deteriorating. Thats even if you are feeding them.
