Pavona, pocillopora and seriatopora, stylophora, porites and hydnophora (although some people consider that one an LPS) are all about as forgiving as montipora in my opinion. Acropora is the only SPS that has caused me grief in the past.

I had a horn coral that grew very well under power compact lighting and then also flourished when moved under metal halides later. In fact with too much lighting it lost it's bright green colour and started to brown. It was one of the first corals in a new set-up and stood tall through all of my early mistakes.
