I would get some live rock in your tank, if your shooting for a reef set up. As far as coral goes, it's all in the eye of the beholder. If your looking for some easy, "cool" starter corals, I'd consider some star polyps, a frog spawn, and maybe a hammer coral. Good luck!

Your lighting is too waek for most corals, you are limited to soft cotals, mushroom, polyps and maybe Bubble, Fox, Brain and Frogspawn corals.
Before tempting hard corals you must be prepared to add and test calcium levels. Your scallop is not likely to survive very long BTW.
