Some good beginning corals

Galaxia as a hard coral is pretty easy, but needs room because of it’s stinging runners.

I the video blow you can get an idea of how much space this guy needs. He has killed a nice spherical area of everything around it!

Pulsing Anthelia is a good beginner coral. Easy to grow and prune
