It's my first saltwater tank and would like to add some corals sometime for my clownfish. Any advice would be great

Clownfish don't need corals.

How long has the tank been up and running? What are your parameters? What are the PAR levels within your tank? I don't see any additional powerheads/wavemakers in the tank. What's your flow like?

All of these things will play into what you can/can't keep in the tank.
 
Ph between 7.6 and 8.0 Temperature is about 27° Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 Salinity 1.026 been like this for awhile now pretty stable

There are three power heads two that came with the tank and a wavwmaker in the corner of my tank

Ok. So pH could be a bit higher (not super critical, but yeah, you'll want to get it up). Temp is a bit warm. Shoot for 25.5 (78f). Nitrate is good. Salinity is good. Do you know what your Phosphate is? That's another one you'll want if you're going to keep corals.
Also, what is "awhile"? 1 month? 3 months?

My tank is 11 weeks old and there parameters been like this for a month now. And no I haven't done any other parameters tests yet besides these ones

I’d start with some cheap softies first. Zoas are good. Then try some lps.

Yes that's what I was thinking of doing trying some lower price ones to start and see how they make out in my tank
 
Start off low power with that light
