If you're thinking of starting out with Acro's my suggestion is a Green Slimer Acropora SPS coral like this one. The Green Slimer Acropora is not as delicate to keep as other Acro's and will tolerate certain differences in water parameter differences.

Thanks for checking out my recent and first Acro stick.

Not the toughest although it’s pretty solid like you said great for starter acro. Easily satisfied and the metallic green stands out doesn’t require a ton of light to maintain the vivid color. Grows good it’s basic for some reason I really want to grow a giant colony lol. 20 months first picture to the last which is current I’ve fragged it along the way.

Mine grows like a weed. Frag it all the time and love to give away nice chunks to reefers starting out with sps locally. I have always loved the green slimer, will always be and awesome timeless stick.
 
I thought I'd try this coral and afterwards will then go into more complex Acro's. Eddie

I think as long as you get aquacultured frags, whether from online vendors, sellers here, or local hobbyists, nothing's really complex to be honest. There are some that may be finicky, but once the strains you buy are adapted to home life, you're golden.

Good luck, it'll just draw you in deeper and deeper, just like your wallet!
