Default Lighting suggestions please!

Hi all! I am a newbie to this wonderful hobby. I have a 30 gallon tank and I have fish, live rock, hermit crabs, and a cleaner shrimp. I might be getting a starfish later on down the road. What kind of lighting is recommended for this kind of setup? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for responding glapmka. I am not planning on keeping corals as I have heard the upkeep is a bit trickier. I would like for coraline algae to grow on the live rock though.

A simple "power compact" fixture would work for you then
