Beginner SPS recommendations?

[Coreysreef123]

Hey guys I have a 40 gallon cube mixed reef with some soft corals, lps, and a few different monti caps. I really want to start getting more into some SPS corals and was wondering what some of the easier/more forgiving types you would recommend. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the responses, I will be on the lookout for frags of these so I can give them a try! Really looking forward to trying out some SPS other than my monti caps!

I'd suggest as inexpensive as you can find. It can be an expensive learning curve. Don't forget to dip those frags when you get them

Pink montipora and purple birdsnest is what I've had longest that has survived all my beginners mistakes. Orange digitata has done well for me too.

Joe the Coral, Green Slimmer, Purple Stylo. What you're looking for are corals that are fast growers and pretty hardy.

Best thing I can instill in you is to quit while you're ahead. Worst addiction ever!
