can I keep any corals with 80W of PC lighting?

hey guys
I have 2x40W PC lighting on my 90g
I was wondering if I can possibly keep anything other then LR under these lights? are there any corals (i think mushrooms require low lighting) that will be ok under these?
cheers!

You could try a few mushroom corals (Actinodiscus) at the top, and work from there. Some other soft corals might be fine. That's where I'd start, anyway.

You might also try a Kenya Tree located up towards the top.

Of all the corals I can thinkg of, Palythoas, might be worth trying under that kind of lighting.
