from my experiences
montis
milliporas
green slimer acropora yongei
any thin branching staghorn corals
validas
keep an eye out for any tightly packed corals they needs lots of flow or else will die from the inside out..... try to stay away from wild ones for a lil while until u feel confident enough in your tanks abilities, frags always seem to do best but aquacultured small colonies seem to fair well too
once u feel comfy u can get more exciting things but i think these corals are good starters and they have lots of varieties of colors out there

i probably ordered the hardest stuff to keep. i ordered a ruffled ridge coral, staghorn acropora(aquacultured), and a purple passion tree coral( i think its like a colt coral but purple).
ill give them a try, i probably shouldn't have ordered the ruffled ridge. any more info will help thanks
