Does anyone know of any easy coral/anenomes? I heard that you shouldn't get them as a begginner, but I REALLY want some. Does anyone know of easy (and pretty) coral? I have a 145 gallon tank, with nothing in it. I am getting one yellow tang and one cleaner shrimp. In the future, I will slowly add more. But, for now... do you know of a good coral, and if so, what type of lighting/filtering flow should I add?
 

whaa...?

start with mushrooms then go to polyps then go to leathers then upgrade lighting then go to whatever u want that is what I did over a 8 month period of time.
by the time that you have mastered the art of caring for you tank and have the proper equipment u should be ready to try about anything but the mushrooms are the most forgiving u should really start with them
just my 2 cents

Do you have live rock? How much?
My first coral was a 4 X 1" strip of unatached green start polyps I got for $20. It is pretty hardy, and hasn't been a problem at all. My mushrooms I actually have had more trouble with because I keep thinking I'm going to blow them off of the rock.
What type of lighting do you have on your tank? That could dictate your coral success.
