Mushrooms, zoanthids, sun corals don't need a lot of light but require spot feeding of every mouth, I believe a colt coral or bubble coral would be ok also. Only things I can think of right now.
 
You might be able to add xenia to the list if you can keep it high enough.
 
depending on how deep the tank is you can keep alot of stuff.
in my 29 biocube (about 19 deep) i have green start polyps, hammer coral, red shrooms, florida rics, and candycan coral.

you can do pretty much any soft coral, and a few of the hardier LPS species
 
i also have a 29gallon BIO CUBE.i have candy canes and a trumpet, 4 different kinds of zooanthae, and a brain coral. i have to say, at least in my case, the zoa's are bulletproof!!! and im very new to this and have done a few very stupid things, things that nearly wiped out the whole tank, but those zoas literally didnt look phased!!! i want to start another tank though. i like a lot of the soft corals (i also have one soft coral. i dont know what it is though). are they pretty hardy? why are the SPS so hard? and out of soft, LPS, and SPS. which are the easiest to hardest? the only one to actually die so far was an SPS of some sort.
just because i have these corals doesnt mean i know much about them. i only have them because i rescued from certain death. (im just such a good guy. i know. i know)
 
mushrooms, leathers, frogspawn, sun coral, button polyps, bubble corals, brain corals, plate corals, candy canes, some annemones, caulflower coral, zooanthids, there are many more but im running out of common's. some of these corals will require being closer to the light.
