I think I got a good deal here, is this good enough lighting?

Rebuilding my 30 long nano reef and picked this up on ebay:

got that for 50 shipped.

Never really kept anything but zoas/star polyps etc... easy stuff.

Basically what types of corals is this lighting capable of sustaining and having them keep their color etc...

Some examples of things I'd like to keep, Torch corals, frogspawns, Devil's hand leather, some bright ricordias. A single nice looking Digi which would go up high in the tank. Kinda just wondering what would be acceptable as a general rule and what I shouldn't waste my money on.

Also would a fairly colorful clam do alright under those or is that something I should avoid?

I don't think its enough for a clam. You could keep the others you listed I think. Honestly you should have bought a T5 fixture not a PC one.
