IMO, there are not really any corals you can keep with that much light. If
you add at least one more light of the same wattage, you could probably do
some nice mushroom rocks, some xooanthids, and various polyps. There are
some corals that do not like much light, but I cant think of any that would
stay small enough for a 10. If you don't add any more light, you could do
feather dusters, some different shrimps, snails etc. You could do any of
these, and would be fine with a couple of clownfish.
FWIW

Subject: Mini reef advice
I just set up a new 10 gal with about 8 lbs of live rock. I put a
15w 20k
coralife fluorescent bulb on it. I think if I plan to have a small
fish
(percula clown?), perhaps two at the most, I will need a skimmer?
I'm
wondering what kind of corals and various inverts I can put in with
that
amount of lighting without killing them obviously.
I realize that nitrates/nitrites are a big concern in that size tank
so fish
are not a for sure but it would also be nice to have one just to see
something swimming around.
At my LFS I saw they had a 5 gal mini reef with a special metal
halide light
that sold for around $80 but wondered if anyone has heard of it and
if it
can be found on the 'net somewhere for a little less perhaps. It's
an
impressive little mini reef and they've been running it quite
successfully
for several months. But I think it's got considerable more light
than I
have right now!
Any advice on critters is appreciated, fish or otherwise.
Thanks!
