New to coral keeping

[kidkaffen1]

I wanted to start to keep soft corals so I got a 192 watt lighting system for my 55 gal aquarium. I wanted to know what else I needed to consider and what are some nice soft corals that are easy to take care of?

lighting
flow

these are the 2 biggest factors in coral care in my oppion

Are there any particular soft corals that you like?
We have a toadstool leather, kenya trees, different zoanthids, mushrooms, and Xenia and I would say that they've all been "easy" for us to keep. Like fish lad said, lighting and flow are important -- and the 2 things that I had to alter a couple of times before they all really started to take off.
