go for sps from other reefers in the area, wild pieces such as places like reefermadness and others are not a good idea to start with, good luck,

hi,

first of all, when people said hardier, that's just an opinion

I have talk to reefermadness owner and stags one that's considered hardy even wild,

I have brown, cream, blue tips and have never had an issue,

what beginners need to stay away are does wild pieces such as table tops, which attracts so many because of its beauty

Hardiest imo is aquacultured corals.

I've found monitporas, torts to be very hardy. I would say they all require great care, flow, and parameters. With those 3, you can keep anything That and light.
