I recently got a 90 gallon setup and it came with two kessil 360 tuna blues. If I just kept these two lights on the tank what corals would everyone recommend, if any that will thrive under these lights.

thanks everyone!
 
Everything will grow. You'll have shadowing issues with branching varieties like Acropora though.
 
Once you set it up, do a par map with a rented par meter. You certainly can grow sps under them. Just select your corals judiciously.
 
You can add an aquatic life t5 hybrid for an even better system, but the kessils will work well on their own.
 
See someone told me in the SPS group that just those two kessil won’t support most SPS.
Well, that person is mostly wrong. Kessil lights grow sps just fine they just tend to shadow branching varieties of coral so you usually have to run more kessil lights or add T5's as things grow out.
 

Keep in mind there are several versions with different light angles and such. I would assume yours are the wide ones if it had just two.
It almost looks like adding one more might be a good idea for you to get better spread with sps but I don't know how big your tank actually measures.
