Shenanigans?
Maybe some zoas, mushroom, kenyas, pulsing xenia. Candy canes are also good, along with some hammer corals and frogspawn.

i like the frogspawn, but wont they sting other corals?

Shenanigans?
Likely, but you wont stack them next to each other, so as long as you spread them out, you have a 55 so you have plenty of room.
Question as well, what lights you running?

How many light bulbs are in that fixture?
From what you are saying, you have 4 54 watt globes?
Is this right?
they don't come in 200watt gloves unfortunately!

Hahaha at least I got it right! Does it have individual reflectors? That fixture is definitely enough for any soft or LPS corals, if it has reflectors on it, it will be good for SPS corals as well later down the track but they will have to be placed medium to high in the tank!
