Will this light work for softies??

I would like to add some corals to my 55gal tank but I have no idea if the lighting is sufficient. I have a coralife 48" with 2 x 65watt 10k and 2 x 65 watt actinic.

If not, will this lighting sustain any type of coral?!?

Should be plenty fine for Softies I had a 4*55W CF fixture over my 55 and it was plenty.
