Good beginner corals are the softies (so like... green star polyps, zoas, leathers, ricordias, mushrooms) and LPS (the easier ones are the euphyllias (frownspawns, torches)).
What are you looking for fish-wise? Wrasses are cool, but you have to be careful of what is reef-safe and what isn't. Dwarf angels are good, but you always have to take the chance that they'll eat corals. No reef tank is complete without a bottom feeder (like a goby of some kind).... but it's kind of up to what you like and what you want out of your tank.
Keep in mind that you'll have to stock very slowly, and there are no concrete "fish per gallon" rules in saltwater, but we tend to stick to "one small fish per ten gallons".
Take a look at liveaquaria (they have very good information) and make a wish list. We can help you narrow it down from there. :)
