any advice would be appreciated

My first coral was a kenya tree coral, I have the coralife 50/50 actinic 10,000K lighting system and its doing great. mine is a litter darker in color then the one on the site below.

also any types of polyps or mushroom will do alright as long as you have about 2-3 watts per gallon.
just do some research about different kinds of corals and their requirements i use liveaquaria.com to do alot of my research on fish or coral

Pretty much any soft coral would be fine (leather, mushroom, kenya tree, zooanthid, palythoa, star polyps, xenia). You could also try some easier LPS like torch, frogspawn, hammer, galaxea, open brain, favites brain, candycane, or bubble corals. They're all pretty easy and do well under T5 lights.

Well you've got T5 lights so reall the only two other things you need to keep the corals I listed are 20 times tank turnover (4000LPH in your case) in powerheads and good water quality
