well I have a 55g aquarium about 2 months old and was wondering what kind of corals I could get to start off, atm I have one pink zoanthid that is doing fine...

my lighting is an aquaclear 48 in 130 watt

mushrooms would do fine as well, as would GSP. is the aquaclear VHO, PC or what? some LPS might do fine as well - I kept Euphyllia species under 55w PCs in a 29 gal. they did well to about 1/2 way down. also kept xenias with good success
