Zoas/Polys, shrooms, star polyps, pulsing zinnias. People here will warn of these things overtaking your tank. If you plan on caring for your tank these coral are EXCEEDINGLY easy to control on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Ignore your tank and in a year they will surely overgrow your tank.

Kenya Tree, but it can be hard to control.

Several large polyp stoney corals (LPS) are pretty easy also and forgiving
Trumpet coral/Candy Cane, Hammer Coral, Favia Coral and Duncan Coral just to name a few.

Toadstools, Devilshand, Colt Coral, zoas, Button Polyps, Finger Leather. These will not spread quickly and infest the tank.

Is fragging hard?

It's just cutting and glueing and common sense.

And with zoas or palys protective gear.

I agree, some of the LPS seem to be pretty easy and quite forgiving, god knows I inadvertently abused my hammer, favia, and trumpets in their first year in my nano tank. They're now huge and I have to frag frequently to maintain their size. I started with 3 polyps of ultra green trumpets and now the colony is roughly 150 polyps, 1 polyp of Dragon Soul Favia has turned into roughly 50 polyps and my hammer was just one head and now it has to be at least 60 heads.
