| The easiest to maintain corals would be certain types of mushrooms (coralamorphians/discosoma) and colonial polyps (briareum/palythoa/zoanthids). This is of course (as is always the case) a generalization. Rhodactis mushrooms require very good water quality to maintain and ricordea mushrooms need intense lighting to thrive. If you have a LFS with good knowledgable sales people, they should be able to point out which is which. I have a friend that has a 40g with nothing but shrooms and zoanthids in it. It's lit with 4 40 watt standard output florescent lamps and filtered only by a hang-on back skimmer. It's one of the most gorgeous tanks I've ever seen! :)
So many species, so little money!

I remember from your "feeding herbavores" forum that you said you have a chocolate chip starfish. This star will eat any coral you buy, so if youre getting coral, you need to get rid of the star.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------38 gallon freshwater: 1 turquoise severum, 4 red& blue columbian tetras, 2 gold gouramis, 3 otocinclus, 1 clown loach 30 gallon saltwater: 1 coral beauty angel, 1 clarkii clown, 1 banded coral shrimp, 1 serpent star, lots of cool macroalgae
