I’ve never owned coral and trying tap water will get rodi water system eventually and will be using reef breeders pico light 10g tank with a clownfish will add another clownfish soon I need the absolutely hardiest coral as this is my first ever reef tank and first time trying corals tank is still kind of new a bit over a month running but I do have live rock and sand I also added bottled bacteria also don’t want the coral to be expensive don’t really care about the size
 
Xenia or kenya tree are very easy.
Pulsing xenia adds motion even if the tank flow is low.
 
Gsp is super easy and forgiving as well.

Keep in mind that the coral suggestions given to you under your provided circumstance, will likely be a huge problem to get rid of or even control if/when they start to grow. Best to be patient. Wait 6 months. Get your tank fairly stable, then add a coral or two that you actually like and start reefing.
My 2 pennies.

Edit. Also, until you have RODI, you’re going to have crazy nutrient swings and likely battling pest algae, which will keep you occupied. Trying to keep coral alive will just likely set you up for failure rather than success.

Best to Do it once, do it right.
