what corals under PC lighting?

I've got a 58 gal oceanic with a 20 gal fuge underneath, lots of circulation, about 100 Lb LR and a protein skimmer. Fishes are yellow tang, maroon clown, royal gramma, lawnmower blennie, redlip blennie, and tiger gobie. There's an active and wonderful clean-up crew.
The tank has been set up for nearly 2.5 years, and I've got a ton of mushrooms and other softies. Question is -- without upgrading the lights (can't do that right now), what other corals can I safely add? Some folks have said that I can keep anything in that lighting, but that doesn't make sense to me. What do you think?
Thanks!

How much PC lighting do you have, and what type is it? (ie -240 watts, half 10k, and half actinic).

I'm not home right now and don't remember the specs. I can tell you it's one blue, one white, a 3-foot set of 2 bulbs.
I'll check when I get home.

One of your other posts says they are 2x96W PC. I would say about any soft coral with proper placement, LPS corals if they are placed in the upper half of the tank. Problem with a 58g is they are deep... 21"-22"??

I run my 150 gal with Vho lighting and I have everything from clams to acra's tons of softies all grow very well it all in the place ment. So I say take you pick and place them accordingly.:D
