Help me pick out corals

What are some cool corals i can keep under 265 watts of PC lights in my 55 gallon? I have had my tank running for about 4 months and am looking for my first corals.

Green star polyps (extremely easy, grows fast, great color)
Pulsing xenia
zoanthids (some grow fast, also great variety)
mushrooms/ricordia
candy cane
kenya tree

lots and lots of others, probably will want to stay away from most SPS corals

I agree with xenia, and any star polyps, mushrooms, fox corals also require no light, and look similar to a bubble coral.
