Starting corals

[Chamelius]

What are some corals that are good for beginners? Something that would be more tolerant to any mistakes that may happen. Also, what are easy low-light coral?

Thank you.

Mushrooms, zoas and leathers.

Be sure you like anything you put in your tank, there are plenty of good looking corals that are hardy so be picky. I've had good luck with mushrooms, several zoas and kenya trees; they are all cheap so if it doesn't take-off I'm only out a few bucks, not 100+ for some really cool chalice.

great point^^ leave the pricey stuff when you are for sure your tank can support just about anything.
