Depends what you want. I have alot of polyps and Dendros, and if I feed my fish near to when the lights go out, polyps come out fast to eat the scraps from my puffer.
But I like the motion of GSP, Jasmine and Clove polyps. When you have to many, just reach in, tear some off, sell scraps for $5 a peice and you get some spare cash. Its easy to trim and keep clean, grows fast, have neat coloration.
A added bonus, if there is a lady in the house who thinks the tank has alot of ugly inhabitants, they look like little flowers! haha

I supposed, the eel and shark are at risk of breaking hard corals through movement right. But you could get some low light SPS. The real risk for corals comes from butterflys, angels and other large fish like that grazing on them.
Some pink birdsnest acro is easy enough to grow depending on light and depth.. but then your looking at a mixed reef right, where you are trying to take two specialties and make everyone happy. You have to consider lights, temp, alk, sal, ph, Nits and phos and everything else when you get into coral tanks, the sloppy eating of eels and sharks makes larger frequent water changes a must to keep hard corals happy. But I always found the less fish you can have in a SPS tank, means less frequent water changes which makes it more stable and constant you get the best growth so long as you dose properly to keep the proper calcium levels and nutriants that they need to thrive.
I dont know how much polyps cost in SoCal, but up here in Canada they are the cheap easy corals. Like $15-40 for larger colonies. Take a look at live aquaria and see what they have under the polyps section, you can see some neat ones, the blue ones I hope can come to Canada soon, they are amazing looking! "Blue Sympodium Polyp"
