Depends on your definition of "really cool stuff" you will be fine with soft corals, most LPS corals and SPS will grow but will not obtain some of the more spectacular colors that they would under MH lighting. but there are some SPS that will do fine also like digitata. you can get green, red, purple and Orange for this coral under PC's. I wouldn't recommend clams or anemone with out MH lighting though. Caps will also do not to bad under PC I have found.

So if you want to do a mixed tank with mostly soft/LPS and some digitata for the SPS then you would be fine. here is a pic or two of purple and green digitata. Digitata will grow quickly also if you keep your Ca at 400ish and your Alk a little higher than normal.
