Cabbage leather corals are very hardy. I have had them for years and have not killed one(yet).

Sinularia dura !

+1 on cabbage coral, and easily grows with hardly any light. In our class neevr had any problems growing cabage even with using dual normal output output flourecent bulbs 8+ inches above water surface.

Yellow polyps. The guy in the pet store said that they could be acclimated to your tank in few seconds. Against my better judgement, I just dropped them in because I was in a hurry. They immediately opened and have been thriving ever since. I think they are a Parazoanthus.

Sinularia dura cabbage coral gets my vote, too. You can't kill it and it will overtake your aquarium if you don't remove it. Yuck.

Its funny how some poeple can keep xenia, for the life of me i can't keep the stuff alive. I have pretty good luck with green sinularia though, stuff grows like a weed and if i don't frag it every three weeks it can easily take over my tank.

All depends on your setup. Xenia seems to prefer dirtier water. I had a 125 gallon with undersized skimmer, and a wet/dry, and my Xenia grew spread like wildfire. Now I have a 72 bowfront, at first the tank was skimmerless and the Xenia was spreading, now I have a ridiculously oversized skimmer, my water is pristine and my Xenia does not grow at all.

As for easy to keep corals. I don't think you can kill mushrooms. A while back I remember reading a thread where someone took mushrooms, chopped them up in a blender, poured the mushroom juice into his tank, let it all spread evenly, and some time later he had mushrooms growing everywhere. I had a rock with a few mushrooms on it in my 14 gallon cube. Nothing was in that tank besides that light so I left the light off. The light was off for about four months, and the mushrooms are still there hangin out.
