I thinkn what you are asking is, is there a specific number of corals to a specific number of gallons of water? NO there is not, the only real # to look at is your lighting and how much feeding that the specific corals need and how much that could raise your nitrates,,,

How much room you have will also determine the amount of corals. Some can touch each other and some can't touch anything.

When you add coral, remember it will grow and spread depending on what you decide to have. Running activated carbon will help keep the chemical warfare down, for those that touch.
Touch coral, frog spawn, galaxia corals are really stingy, so give that kind about 3 to 4 inches off to themselves.
Bubble coral has sweeping tentacles that come out at night, some can stretch almost halfway across a 55g...so be careful of where the water flow will send the stingers as they flow with the water.
Just some advice...happy reefing
