I apologize but your lighting is so low I doubt you can have very many types of corals in that tank. It's 1 watt per gallon. The only things that come to mind that are colorful but do not want light are things like sun corals. They are a bright orange and need to be kept in a shady spot.

I am thinking some sort of mushroom near the top of the tank closest to the light.
