Half the bulbs are Dual Daylight (10,000K & 6,700K)
and half Dual Actinic (460nm & 420nm).

What kind of corals can I keep?

My tank is 100g.

From the bulb to the sand there's 20"

That is a great FOWLR fixture, not too sure about supporting corals under it though. With that size tank, if you want to go the coral route I would really consider metal halide lighting. Basically, 260watts of PC light on a 100 gallon tank is not a lot. You might be Ok with mushrooms and perhaps zoanthus and button polyps, but that would be it.

not even if I put them on the top? of the highest rock???


I mean soft corals?

you'll be ok with softies. i have the same lighting, just the 48'' orbit and my corals are doing great! currently supports 2 tree corals, star polyps, and shrooms and there all doing good! looking to add some frogspawn soon. also have a gbta with the lighting.

I have the same light that was in your link, above. But mine is the 36" model, I got it from a RC friend of mine for $50, I have it over my 55 gallon tank & it does fine with the BTA, condy, shrooms, mushrooms, xenia I have in their... here is some pictures:

that light will be fine for softies, if you want more flexability then i would check out T5HO setups.
