Hi,

Once I get my tank set up and it’s ready for fish, what are some fish, corals and inverts that are good for beginners to start with? I want to start making a wishlist and reading up on them. Thanks.
 
Starter corals that are more forgiving:

Toadstool leather
Finger leathers
Mushrooms
Green star polyps (gsp) Needs it own rock to grow on as it will spread.
Palythoas

Inverts:

Snails
Skunk shrimp ( also known as cleaner shrimp)
Blood red shrimp


Fish:

Dwarf angels, flame or coral beauty. only one per tank.

Yellow wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus)

Chalk bass

Long nose hawk fish

Clown fish
 
Welcome and salutation.

I love the coral beauty. Flame angel also pretty cool. Some say send in pix?;Joyful

Live Aquaria categorizes fish. Look at their list. Look for fish that are “easy”, “ peaceful” and “reef safe”.

For fish: fire fish, royal gamma, Bengai cardinals, reef safe wrasses, quite a few gobies, maybe a Chromis......
