Here's one from Fiji:
Bommies was my inspiration for the giant piece of Pukani I used on the right side of my tank. I've been mounting corals all over it including the sides.

What types of coral have you been placing in the lower light sides?

Not much. The corals on top have grown over and effectively blocked most of the usable PAR to the right side and back side. That and I don't want to block flow to the right side because that's where my right side MP40 pushes water through. So I have a couple corals mounted on the top/back and top/right. I don't really know the type of corals, but they are acros, of a lower light variety. My "Bubba's Blueberry Wine" and "DTW Purple Chronic" are both low light and do well there. I also mounted a "BC Bubblebath Unicorn" on the right/top and it's quite shaded and not happy. It's growing slowly, but mostly green.
I think if you want a true bommie with corals on all sides, you probably need a very deep peninsula where you could view the bommie on all sides and all sides get good PAR. Or you could mount lower light stuff like Montis and Chalice on the lower light sides, but I try to keep those type of corals off my rocks.
