Skip the zoas, gorgonians and the sea whip for now. They won't do well in a new tank. Wait at least 6 months before adding any of those.

The GSP and palys are okay, although $17.98 per polyp for the palys is quite high. Anyone that has any would likely give them to you for free. I have to prune them back to keep them from overrunning my tank.

Other better starter corals would be hairy mushrooms or toadstool leathers.
