ricordia, xenia, green star polyps, any shrooms or zoos. all pretty easy and lower light.

I usually start with mushrooms and most types of polyps (star, button, zooanthid are typically the three easiest)

I started with green starpolyps and wish i hadent.. if your tank does well you will be trimming green starpolyps often.

Fox corals are good beginners, and very pretty to. I have 3 of them and I love each and everyone of them.
