IME Acropora Hyacinthus and Acropora Kimbeensis are good beginner Acro corals.

I have heard that hyacinthus was a relatively difficult acro.

That'd actually be a new genus

[LobsterOfJustice]

Hyacinthus is picky about flow IMO. Much easier to grow out from a frag than buy a colony.

I would suggest green slimer.

[Wrench]

green slimer, millepora, kimbeensis and stags. Try your hand at easier SPS like Montipora sp. before stepping up to acros. They're more forgiving of mistakes.

RUFKM???

I hope that is sarcasm. Hyacintus especially wild caught species are excessivly tempermental. Well estabilished captive caught can be tempermental, but generally more hardy. A. Kimbeensis are moderately difficult.

IMO, I would also recommend Montipora species or pocillopora. If these do well try a Bali Green Slimer (Acropora Yongei) and build from there. Make sure that you dip all of your corals before you put them into your display. You can use Julian Sprungs Coral Revive and/or Tropic Marin's Procoral Cure *TMPCC*.
