Check out live aquaria so you can see some pics and they do have corals separated out in sections for beginners.

Then cross reference a search in here reading about different corals you see that you like.

It's what I've been doing trying to pick corals I like the looks of.

Im too green to offer specifics. I know softs and Lps are where you wanna look, sps seem to be the more demanding.

Most soft corals will be good to start with. Leathers, shrooms, star polyps, zoas, ect.

I would try zoos, mushrooms, and some softs first. If that's going well try an LPS.
