See how you do with some softies first like zoanthids or palythoas. If you can't keep them alive you'd have no chance with a hammer coral!

Reefwars is one of MANY people selling soft corals as a side line and he sure as hell has a lot of different ones.

My first coral ever was a hammer coral and I still have a number of heads from it today. They don't require anything special and I've had them under T5's, MH's and LED's at varying depths and stages of neglect and have never managed to kill any of it (with the exception of a section that broke off one night and fell onto an open brain coral who quickly killed the hammer). Very easy to keep and a good beginner coral IMO.

Mushrooms and palys, almost impossible to kill. And you can get some real nice ones, different colours, etc.
