    Be picky about what you get. The slower you add things the better. That way you'll develop a taste for corals you really want over time. One of my first corals was GSP and I know I'll probably always have that in my tank since I really like it.... if you get some find the "neon" green vs. regular it's way nicer. Mine is almost growing too fast .. so a small frag will be huge in months if you have good lights.
    If you have a local reefer community, other reefers are one of the best places to find frags of zoas, colts , xenia, GSP.

    Well I went to the LFS today.. There was so much to look at and I wanted to be on a budget. Cause I could blow a ton of cash and I just don't have it. So I set a 29 dollar budget. I know i know. I found alot of stuff. Then I saw the toad stool and thought for 19 bucks It was a steal. LFS guy was like this is a really nice piece so I got it. Not sure I like the placement in my tank yet so may mess around with it. Here are the crappy pics its still opening up just added it..
