A few months may be a good wait ............
Waiting is good advice but how long is a questionable issue. What now seems like many moons ago my first coral was a Pink Pearl" about 2 to 3 inches across. ( I didn't know any better). It is a bit harder starting coral to do than many are.......It was added within the first month of set up. Now several years later I still have the what is now a monster, well over a foot across, maybe closer to two.
This was well before I learned the importance of things like a Fuge etc... Sometimes we just get lucky. But caring and perseverance do pay off.
But like said if the tank is stable things like Zoas, simple Leathers and Mushrooms would be acceptable for a newer set up within a fairly short time from set up..............Good Luck..........
