Wavebox outlet + corals that can resist its flow?

Ok I am looking for people with experience on waveboxes.
I am wondering what corals can be placed near the pump outlet.

Since it produces strong direct flow then the corals that I placed nearby started to develop algae. The pump was at full strenght and produced an amazing crazy wave but of course to many corals in proximity were having a hard time with the direct flow and developed algae, so I had to reduce the strenght of the pump to the middle, and that gives me a good wave and not trouble.

But I am running out of space and I am wondering what type of SPS can be placed near the pump outlet, thus resisting strong direct flow.
 
Most Acroporas and Seriatoporas can take this flow but I would caution against placing any corals near the outlet as it will reduce the wave effect as the corals grow and you will have to retune the controller.
 
The corals are about 5-7" inches from the outlet, one staghorn developed so much algae from the direct flow that I had to replace it, right now the lower part of my yongei seems to be disliking this direct strong flow and that is why I am asking which ones would be more flow resistant corals.
