First Corals

[lm]

I have a 75 gallon with 70#LR and a clean up crew with 440 vho lights. What would be a good recomendation for some first corals and how to take care of them? Also have 2 power heads to circulate the water along with a sump and ref. This tank has no fish in it yet.

when the tank is done cycling I would add some LPS corals....but you will have to monitor all your levels and perform all the tests.
I would get a torch, frogspan, or hammer braching coral...definetly a brain coral too...these are more difficult than the softies and polyp corals though...
Mushrooms would be easy but would have to be placed in a lower light place..I bleached my shrooms out when I had my vhos on them...yellow polyps, star polyps, daisy polyps, and the various leathers are also fairly easy...
xenia are cool to, but more difficult to take care off...
maybe you could add a few easy sps like a birdsnest...

xenia, green star polyps, button polyps, mushrooms, most leather corals, hammers, and zoanthids would all work well for you and are all fairly low maintenance.
