That should be enough IMO. Mushrooms and some softies should be ok just on photosynthesis. Zoos require supplemental feeding once or twice a week. Enriched brine or Cyclopeeze or something along those lines are sufficient

yea, i think you should be fine. try something easy first like a montipora capricornis. give it a month or so and see how it does. theres much more to sps than just lighting. they need perfect water and really good flow. maybe try a squamosa first if you want a clam. there the least light needing of all the clams.
if your tank is new, it should mature at least 6 months imo before trying sps or clams. 8 months would be better if your new to the reef scene.

Concentrate on water flow if you are planning SPS.
