This is a good list of beginner corals... link. As nlgill said, we need to know a little more about your tank (has it cycled, do you have fish yet, lighting, water flow, etc...).

This will probably do OK in your tank, but those lights are on the weak side.

Colony Polyp
Green Zoanthid
Yellow Colony Polyp
Hairy Mushroom Coral
Lavender Mushroom
Bullseye Mushroom Coral
