Sorry thats just how I was perceiving it.
Well let's step back for a moment and if you can help me understand where your at everyone here can help give you a hand on getting where you want to be.
-I've seen you post that you have some clowns in quarantine. Great starter fish for new tanks, they are hardy and pretty forgiving.
-your 40gallon is finishing itc cycle from what I've seen you post. Whats your equipment like? Live rock or dry rock?Plans for lighting skimmer and filtration?
-what are your goals? Where do you want to be in 6months or a year? I see you want to add corals around the 8 month mark and thats great adding things early can result in high mortality and it gets really depressing watching things fade and melt not just because its a lost investment. But what type of corals are you interested in? Soft corals are easy, lps are a little more difficult and demanding and most see sps as the most difficult corals to keep .
I apologize for the way some of my comments may have read on your end. Scattering things about in different posts can make it very difficult to understand where your at or where your going.
As for resources.

- they have tons of fish with a good quick description, minimum tank size, how difficult they may be to keep and what they may or may not be compatible with.
Bulkreefsupply.com
-they have tons of videos where they break down a lot of the things you have asked today and they explain it in a way thats easy to understand.
Asking these questions like you are and excuse the "rapid fire" description will get you answers but the answers you get may not be relevant to where your at right now. I highly suggest you start a build thread and take it one step at a time. When we have the information about your system and goals we can give much better recommendations that are more likely to work for you and make you successful rather then the onslaught of random information about everything under the sun and you having to decipher it all.
