Suggestions?- beginner fish/coral?

[canadamoose]

Hello,
I would just like to say right off the bat that I definitely plan on reading up on marine fish and corals (I have read Snake's guide which I found extraordinarily helpful!). But I would just like to ask if any of you more experienced aquarists have any suggestions as to beginner fish and/or corals for a 29 gallon Biocube? A book can only help so much where as experience is the true teacher.
Thanks!!

Look at the store on this site under the beginners section for each is a good start. Find what would like and ask about care for specific ones.
Snakes guides are very informative and there are many people here to help. Im a noob, so I can only say clowns are very hardy and fun to watch but Im sure you already knew that.

gobys and blennys... a clown is always hardy cuz its a relative of the damsel.
Stick to softies when it comes to the coral. Mushrooms and zoos/palys are good than some leathers like fingers are kool imo.

I agree, easy begginner corals are discosoma (mushrooms) leathers either finger leathers or trumpet style, capnella trees, Green star polyps, and basic zoanthids, avoid the expensive zoas at first to be sure you can keep zoanthids without problems.
