How long after cycle can you start adding corals to a tank? I would like to get some pulsing Xenia. Also it seems to go for 50-60 dollars for a small bunch on the central coast does that seem like a good price?

i would look as see if you can find a local reef club most people are willing to give or sell Xenia pretty cheap 5-10 dollers for a handfull.and as far as how long you need to wait how long has it been since your cycle finished? and what are your params?

I would never pay that much for Xenia! Definitely look for a local reef club, that stuff grows like weeds and people are always trying to get rid of it. Some people will even give it away for free as long as you come and pick it up. I never have luck with pulsing xenia, no idea why.
You already have fish in this tank, right? You should be able to add coral.

Its been up almost 2 months. I have one clown and one fire goby. I'm gonna wait one more month because Im already having issues I don't need to add more to it but also wanted to make sure 3 months was enough time. There seems to be a lot of stuff you have to wait 6+ month to put in your tank lol.

Yeah .. I didn't follow those rules, nice that you have the patience to do so, LOL. Just stick with the easier corals in the beginning (***********.com has a great list of beginner corals, but I don't suggest purchasing from them).
What issues are you having?

Well I killed that fire goby. After I posted here I said "hey I should go check my fish" and found it dead. Go figure. Heres my long stress mess of a fish tank issue...
