I have a 75g and it's been running for quite a few months now. I've been curious about adding some coral but I don't know anything about it. I have 2 clowns, yellow tang, britsel tooth tang, bi color angel, coral beauty, yellow goby, a small puffer can't think of the kind and a 3 stripe damsel. I was told that the bi color angel may eat coral. Any advice would be helpful.

Your puffer looks like a valentini . . .
The bicolor (along with most angels) may be wonderful with coral, nip, or outright eat them.
You could try some of the soft corals, zoanthids (though sometimes angels like zoanthids... too much), star polyps (can become invasive!) - not sure whether that light is going to maintain stony corals well, others may have a better handle on that for you.

They will be fine for softies; I have a similar one on a 65 gallon tank (it looks like an older version of the same fixture). Some LPS grow just fine (Hammer, candycane and fox are all that are in there right now). SPS will not likely work, although you might have some luck with low-light SPS; I have a birdsnest which really does not like bright light.
So yeah, get some zoas and mushrooms and go slowly from there
