Do you not like the PC's you have?

That's enough light to keep quite a few corals happy and healthy. Leathers/softies should do great....

I have a 37g tank with a 175w 12K MH and a
20w NO 65K to help with the color It's too
blue.

I would think most leathers, finger, toadstool, cabbage, etc, mushrooms, button polyps, yellow polyps, star polyps, open brain corals, hammer, torch, bubble, favia sp, etc. Basically just about everything.

Be carefull though. Different corals like different conditions. My xenia pulse better in water with a higher dKH, my elegance and frogspawn coral do better in a slow current whereas my star polyps seem to like the higher current. You'll kind of have to mix and match. Use the search feature for specific info about certain corals.
As long as perameters are good, go for it.

Good luck....

I've got a 37g with 2x65W PC + 40W NO. Currently, I've got (they're all healthy and growing):
mushrooms
button polyps
star polyps
xenia
toadstool leather
green toadstool
colt coral
green bubble coral
green open brain
montipora d. (SPS)

4x96W ought to work fine for just about anything (I'd even try some SPS and maybe a clam w/ that)
