From personal experience, I would start out with the gsp and the candycanes. They’re both some of the most vibrant corals you can get imo and they’re easy to take care of, but I recommend that you wait at least until the cycle is complete to add any type of corals.

i would start with gsp. It's very forgiving and can handle many mistakes. It can be a weed so isolating to an island is a a great idea.

Maybe consider some mushrooms... very forgiving, and some really beautiful colors. The anenome is a no-go until the tank is stable... usually after a year.

Hello amd welcome!

GSP
Mushrooms

List looks good, think about placement also

Thanks! Yes, I will wait for the cycle. You guys think hammer and frogspawn are good seconds after GSP and candy cane? And how long to wait in between?

Yes. That would be a good order list. Gsp, and candy, then the hammer and frog. I'd wait at least 2 weeks in between adding, and make sure you use a type of coral dip to remove any possible parasites before putting it your tank.

Thanks for the info!

From personal experience, you could start with a hammer, duncan, GSP, or shrooms. They are all very hardy and forgiving.

I would go in this order;

GSP
Zoanthinds
Candy cane or frogspawn or hammer
Then a inexpensive Acan or chalice


Save the rest for last. I would recommend waiting 2-6 weeks between new additions. Slow and steady.Best of luck!

You might also want to get started on a quarantine tank, on top of the dip.
