Good beginner Corals

[eaglephot]

Hi all. I am now making a list of corals that I would like to have in my new reef. What are some good hardy beginner corals? I have 2x65 watt 10,000k and actonic and a 40 watt marine-glo actonic blue light making it a total of a little over 3 watts a gallon for my tank (55 gallons). I am not looking for anything to fancy. Just polyps and mushrooms. What would you recommend? Which can be mixed? Thanks in advance!

yeah mushrooms are hardy you might want to try and get some more light i have mushrooms in 55 Gallon with 260 watts of lightning but yeah mushrooms or zoos are good starters

Yea i agree, mushrooms (I am waiting for my newly fragged toadstool to attach and stand up), kenyas, zoos, green stars are extremely nice if small they look like full thick grass....
some xenias will work, i also have pcs and have bubble corals doing ok, as well as sun polys and button polyps which recently attached their base to a large rock....
