First Coral Purchase

I went to my local LFS today and got 25 lbs more LR and 10 lbs more LS. I really am liking the look of my tank now. I can't wait to get all the coral and fish in it but I am going to do this right with patience. I have pretty good knowledge of marine fish since I've fooled around with FO tanks for awhile but this is the first time I could afford to do things the right way and try a reef. My question to some of you experienced reefers is what would be a good starter coral for me. I want to wait a few more weeks to ensure the cycle is really through (and after adding more LR) but then I was thinking maybe some type of mushroom maybe. I believe I read that they are pretty easy and I like the look of them. What do you guys think.

IMO, go with any type of Mushroom first, except maybe a Metallic Green, I've never dealt with them personally, so wouldn't know how they would react in a newer tank.
