    Zoas, shrooms, some LPS, depending on how close they were to the light & how old the bulbs were.

    You can attempt easy SPS like Montipora, but most SPS needs a lot of light. Does your fixture have individual reflectors & good bulbs?

    I wouldn't do light needing SPS under a fixture like that. All other corals would be OK.
