Is there any problem putting...

These corals together. I'm not planning on doing it all at once but this is what I would like to have eventually. It's a 45G tank. I'm estimating about 50 to 55 lbs of LR.
Cup Coral
Elegance
Fox
Torch
Maybe Toadstool Umbrella and Cabbage.
As of right now, I have a candy coral and finger leather.

I don't think so but i would try and rule out the elegance as a coral. They are hard to keep and are not typical reef corals but seaweed bed/lagoonal corals. They need to be placed in the sand.

Yeah...it was last on my list of things to get if I did at all. I read somewhere they're harder to maintain.

I don't know if they are harder to maintain. Its just taht we don't usually provide it it's natural location in the wild and thus probably why they end up dying. Your typical home reef is a more like a reef slope in the wild. This guy likes the seaweed and kelp beds out in the ocean which is a completely different environment. Its more like a sump environment.
