Whats a good starter coral

[fatcats]

Hey everyone. I was wondering what is a good coral to start with. I have a 95gal tank that has been a FOWLR for the past two years with a tang, some chromis, and a pair of clownfish. I have a good skimmer and good water movement. I just ordered a MH lighting system with 2 150 mh and 4 54 T5s.
What is a good coral just to get started? Nothing to difficult or one that will break the bank
Thanks

With MH you can keep anything with corresponding water parameters and trace elements.

My first coral was a kenya tree! A local fish club member gave me. It is doing good and well for me I am a starter so lets just say is it an easy piece to take care of.

The absolute easiest would be mushroom polyps or yellow polyps.

some purple mushrooms are pretty rock solid. i got some as a hitchiker..if it last through the cycle it will problably last through anything..except for maybe a couple week long power outage..

Mushroom. Xenia, GSP, Zoa (Most of the time), Kenya and Colts, oh yeah and MUSHROOMS

Anything if you have money and a job that is slow and you can spend 8 hours a day on the www
Take pretty boy's advice. He has an aquarium in Texas.

Fox corals (LPS) are very easy. No feeding required, but don't like too much light, so put down low and some what shaded, but not in the dark. I love them, they remind me of a flower of some kind. My avatar is a fox coral. I have also enclosed a pic of mine now, it is under my huge yellow figi leather that shades it somewhat. They do need light, but not blasting on them.
