Zoanthids and Photosynthetic Nepthea are another two good beginner corals if you have the proper cycled tank with the correct setup for to care for them.

I good basic setup for the more durable soft corals would be a tank of course, heater with about 3x the watts to gallons, Water flow of 15-25x tank turnover per hour through any number of means from sump returns power heads and such, good lighting with VHO or pc being good for softies and lps and a good skimmer. THis will get you going on a good start.
