I would try a couple of Mushroom corals (Actinodiscus) and maybe some Green Star Polyps (Pachyclavularia). These are easy to keep and do well under moderate lighting.

would you recomend any higher lighting for them?

I have seen a 5g nano with a 70w 20k metal halide lamp that was quite impressive.

Yes...more light would not hurt.

Even lower light corals like Mush and GSP do even better under better lighting. I would look into a small MH.
