If you started again, what would be your first coral purchase?

Newbie here and looking for some insight into the best corals for beginners. I'm very interested in LPS and colorful softies (no brown things pls). My lights max out at about 100 PAR so they need to be fairly tolerant of low light, and hardy enough to deal with a newbies mistakes. Please let me know!

Mushrooms and Green Star Polyps are very good for beginners, grow fast and are tolerant of quite a bit.

Zoas are also very easy, but you may want to read up on palytoxins and appropriate handling of them if you go that route (it's not that difficult, you just need to know what not to do).
