It depends what sort of corals you want to focus on.

Zoas are easy and colorful.

Most any Leather Coral should do well for you.

Just about any closed brain is an easy beginner LPS as are galaxea and Chalice corals such as Mycedium and Echinophyllia.

If you like SPS Montipora and Pavona are very hardy corals that even though they are SPS should do well in your young tank.
