Are you looking do a mixed reef? I would suggest starting out with Duncan's, zoas, scans, or maybe some mushrooms.

I started with Zoas and I suggest you do too, micromussa's have done great for me too.

agreed all those mentioned w be good for your tank and the type of rock you have/good quality live rock. those corals w do well there. keep an eye out for rotting things as the rock matures on, and remove em occasionally if needed externally

Start with zoas or a duncan or hammer or something easy. My very first coral was a duncan, about two years ago. It came with one head and how has about 13.

I started with green star polyp and Kenya tree

Duncan has been my most dynamic grower.
Leather is nice bc u can watch it grow as well.
Mushrooms are really cool to watch eat!
Acans are fun too.

Zoas!, I started with GSP and a chalice but for a smaller tank skip the GSP, they are fantastic if you can isolate them on a rock structure. Chalices are wonderful corals too.
