"starter" inverts?

[Billy]

I've just acquired some decent lighting, the last component I needed
to go reef, from FOWLR. I'm now running 6x65 PC (4-10,000k &
2-actinic) on a 75 gallon with 20g sump, seaclone100 skimmer, 60 lbs
Fiji LR. Lightly stocked; six-line and some firefish, along with a
cleanup crew.
My question is, what inverts (corals, anemones etc) should I
begin with? Requirements would be relatively low cost, and ease of
keeping while I acquire practical experience.

TIA

mushrooms, leather corals (not yellow), larger zoanthids (generally brown and
green), colt corals. leathers and colt don't mix well though. these are all
softies. others might recommend hardy hard corals. best of luck. -M333

I knew Mandarin333 was talented, but I didn't know mind reading was one of
them.....lol.....I totally agree with his suggestions. All I might add is
the Zoo's.......they are colorful and for the most part extremely hardy.

Thank you both. I'm forced to move the 75 accross the room this
weekend, I'll start with a small mushroom or leather once it's
settled in again.
