Have a relatively large overhang area that won't get any direct light but a decent amount of reflected light it's almost like a sideways cliff and there's big empty space wondering if anyone has ideas for anything coral, algae tank mates?

Besides NPS corals, they all need light. Feel like posting a picture and telling us more about your lighting?

Acans don't need much light.

discoma and rhodactis mushrooms can do well in low par settings too. do you have access to renting a par meter from a LFS?

I have cyphastrea growing in some shade. All of the coral on the right is in the shade and half of the one on the glass is shaded.

My inclination is that the Zoas or GSP are likely to move in there if anything can
Yeah I was thinking that too I'm actually about to take that chunk of GSP out as well as those zoas because there growing too quickly, Any tips on safe and efficient zoa removal?
