If by "stock lighting" you mean the 54w of PCs, then yes, it will be fine assuming your water quality is good. I have on in my aquapod, and it took about 3 days to fully adjust.

Zoanthids are a favorite, and they come in a variety of colors. Same with mushrooms and ricordia. You could probably do some LPS (fox coral, bubble coral, hammer coral), but do some research on how much light they need to thrive before you purchase.
Most good websites (like this one) will give you a general overview of the coral, including what it needs to do well (feeding, lighting, water flow, etc.). Match the corals' needs with what you have in your tank.

I just got a new plate coral last week. It started to extend its tentacles in just mins. They also need to be fed regularly. Don't get a long tentacle one, they are a lot harder to keep and don't usually do well in captivity.
