With the light you have, I would go with montipora digi, or a monti cap. They are a little more forgiving with low light levels. They won't grow fast, but they should survive.

is this a 20long or a 20 high? if it is a long, you should be able to keep just about anything with that light. a 20 high would be a bit more limiting. that extra depth does a lot to the intensity of the light when the light source is not a point source.

I have 2*55W PC's over my 15 gallon tank, and montipora digitata, and montipora cap do well and grow in it.

You dont have to feed it just supply it with light should do fine in your tank.I would go with the Monti Digi.Keep calcium up at around 400 to 450.

feed it light and pretty good flow! ;-)
if it's getting good flow and good light...then all you need to do is work on keeping your parms stable. (mainly Alkalinity, Calcium, pH, and salinity)
