What corals would you recommend for someone just starting out?


The Mushroom (Actinodiscus) Coral does not respond well to bright lights or heavy currents. To allow for maximal expansion and reproduction, these Mushroom corals are best kept under lower lighting conditions (fluorescent lighting is ideal) with little water movement.
Safe with fish, crustaceans and motile invertebrates, but should not be placed next to other soft and stony corals and sessile invertebrates, because of the detrimental effect they can have on them. View attachment 72975
 
Certain birdsnest, and montipora especially the caps are pretty hardy
