Begginer Corals

[the_bandit]

Well, I think I'm going to start getting corals once my tank has better established but I'm new to corals and would like to know what type of corals would be easy to take care of. I have very good lighting (T5 HO High Output Aquarium Light 216W 4 lamps) and very strong powerheads. My filters are nice and portein skimmer works great. I have live rock and live sand. So with all that info, what type of corals would be recommended for me? Maybe Frogspawn?

Mushrooms, Star Polyps, Button Polyps, Zoos...
I am sure others with more experience then me could add to this list.

Leathers are very easy to take of.

I've been keeping coral since last July. I have the following (and since they are thriving-it means I can't even kill them

): zoas, mushrooms, xenias (blue and pink), Kenya(now 8 and still fragging), green star polyps, frogspawn and bubble coral. I have a T5 six bulb-two actynic- on my 125g reef tank. If I can keep these things alive, anyone can. I did buy a 250w MH unit to start a 29g nano.
