What corals are recommended for this setup?

I have the standard size 55g tank with 60lbs live sand. 20lbs live rock alongside 50 lb base rock.
I am currently running:
4x65 PCs (2 - 10000k, 2 - Actinic)
Aqua C Remora HOT skimmer
2 - 1200 Maxijet (295 GPH)
1 - 900 Maxijet (230 GPH)
Wondering what corals people recommend? Can it just be soft corals? Or can I have LPS as well? I do know (or at least I have read) clams and SPS are out of the question unless I upgrade to MH.

soft corals, zoas and shrooms r good choices. as for lps, frogspawn, hammer, or duncans would work under power compact.

basically any soft or LPS coral with possibly a few exceptions (none come to mind though that arent prohibited regardless of set up).
