how long to wait after settting up tank before getting corals

and what are some cheap easy ones?

 

varying opinions on this
I like to run my tank for 1 month before adding my 1st coral, some add sooner, some wait longer

easy corals to start with are
Zoanthids +
Green Star polyps+
Yellow polyps+
Mushroom colonies+
soft leather corals
Toadstool corals
Anthellia +

the ones with the + after the names , are corals that can grow and spread rapidly and may present a problem later but for beginners, these corals all represent a great way to build up experience whilst having a beautiful looking set up IMHO
