I am trying to get help choosing corals to start out with? This will be my first time with corals so I am trying to find easier corals that anyone could start off caring for? Can anyone please recommend some names and different types?

Leather corals, muchrooms and polyps are all good first corals.

Monster,

Leathers, hammers, frog spaun and feather dusters are all very easy to care for.
Lighting is critical to most coral care. What are you lighting your tank with?
What size tank do you have?

Zoanthids and mushrooms are good starting corals. Both would work well with your setup.

Caulastrea (trumpet/candy cane) are a pretty hardy LPS.

how long has it been setup? zoanthids are a good choice, there are so many different colors out there. Mushrooms are good as well. Digita's may be a choice as well
