Default lighting advice for newbie

i've got a 72" tank, with one 250watt metal halide, in the center. i've also got 2 moonlights, one on each end.
my questions are:
1- can i have some coral, with this setup, or is it too little light? i currently have a xenia frag, and a green polyp toadstool leather,positioned directly under the metal halide.
2- what other lights should i purchase? i was thinking 2 more metal halides, but i want various corals and heard actinics(spelling?),are better.
3-i keep my lights on an average of 10hrs a day, with moonlights on at all times. good? have no problem with alge, so thats not a concern.

i would appreciate any advice, thanks
