Zoanthids, palythoas, xenia, kenya trees, and duncans are a good start. Very forgiving.

Just don't get the "high end" zoanthids/palys as some of those have different requirements. 99% of zoas/palys you find in stores are very common, very easy to take care of.

Most softies are going to be easiest to keep.  However, their positive is also a negative, they establish and spread quickly and sometimes irriate lps and especially sps at times.  Just remember to give space between corals.

I have some purple/blue mushrooms if you want to give that a try.  I also have plenty of Kenya Tree, but sounds like you already have had that offer.  If you want more, let me know.  Out of town on business until late Wednesday night, but we could probably hook up over the weekend if you're interested.

I'll just give them to you.  Let's meet up sometime over the weekend.  I'm in West Toledo (between Monroe Street [to the north] and Central Avenue [to the south] & Secor Road [to the west] and Douglas Road [to the east]).  Send me a pm toward the end of the week.  Probably won't have much time to be back on here over the next couple of days.
