Most softies and lps are easy to care for if your tank has stable water parameters. Some lps require feedings, sometimes up to 3 times per week, or they will die, or fail to thrive because they are not receiving enough nutrition from the light and water column.
I have always found all leathers to be easy. If you like duncans and frogspawn try a hammer coral, they are similar, but with a different growth pattern. In reality I always find the best advice for anyone looking for new corals and they are not sure what they are looking for is to look at sites that sell coral & fish and have pictures of them with accurate descriptions. Live Aquaria comes to mind. You get to see what a specimen looks like in perfect conditions, and find out exactly what quirks you should be aware of for owning this specific coral or fish.

One of the best sites I have found for both fish and coral is www.Liveaquaria.com it will give a basic description of coral and its needs
That being said generally the easiest coral to care for are the ones that use sunlight as food. Zoa's, certain brain corals, Xenia, leathers all use sunlight as primary feeding source. There are many others out there as well just need to do some basic research. Have fun and enjoy your tank
