    Does anyone know a piece of coral that would be good to start out with? I have a frog spawn and some polyps.

    Those are the desired ones to start out with. You can also start with Plerogyra sinuosa aka bubble coral.

    Depending on the size of your tank, you can also try out the colt corals. That was my first coral and it has been hapily growing for 3 years now...it does get very big though.

    What kind/how much lighting have you got over the tank?
