Important lighting question

I have a 56 gal saltwater tank that contains 25+lbs of live rock, a blue legged hermit crab, and one yellow banded maroon clown fish. The bulbs that I have on the tank are marine-glo: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...:referralID=NA
and coralife 10,000K:

I was told this is all I need and I could even get soft coral if I like. I am wanting to know if it is possible to get any coral with these two lights that I am using or if I need another type of light/lights?? If so, could you recomment any bulb that would fit into a regular strip light fixture because I do not have the $ to buy an expensive light fixture yet. Thanks for your help!

There are some low light corals. They tend to be more difficult to keep, as most are filter feeders. I would just save up $ and use the time to decide what type tank you just must have.
