depends on your water flow, amount of light and type. Easy beginner corals are softies such as mushrooms.

Let's start with the basics. What size is your tank and what kind of lighting do you have? Most corals live on light and if you don't have the right kind of lighting, they will not survive.
The second thing I would recommend is buying a good book. Robert Fenner, Eric Boneman, Anthony Calfo, and Michael Paletta have all written great books for beginers as well as advance aquarists. You will find most of the answers to your questions in a good reef keeping book. I know this sounds boring, but even after 5 years, we still refer back to the first book we bought when we got into the hobby.
