Ideas for First Venture into Corals

Hello All:

I am a few months into the hobby and really would like a little splash of color in my tank. I was toying with the idea of getting an easy to care for coral. Does anybody have any ideas?

Water parameters:
Sal: 1.023-1.024
Temp: 79-81
Nitrates: 0-10 (closer to zero but I need a water change tomorrow on my day off)
Nitrites: 0
pH: 8.0-8.1
Ammonia: 0

Calcium: 400
Carbonate Hardness (KH): 12
Phosphate: 0-.25 (I use RO/DI from my own machine, but I think because I rinse the vials with tap I sometimes get a slight reading... but I believe closer to 0)

My current set-up:

92 Gallon corner
23 gallon sump
UV sterilizer
PhosBan reactor with NPX BioPellets
Urchin skimmer
Bio balls (I know they are not loved by all)

I already have:
2 Ocellaris clowns
1 banded gobie
3 blue/green reef chromis
1 red flame angel (heretofore the boss of the tank)
1 yellow chromis (LFS was selling it as "sunshine" chromis - it definitely is not that. I believe it to be chromis analis)
