waiting period between adding corals?

[monalisa]

I was just wondering if there is a recommended waiting period between adding corals. I put my first corals (branching zoos and pink zoos) in this past Saturday, and I am checking out a new LFS this afternoon. If they happen to have some great corals there that I've just GOTTA get, is it safe to add those so soon? Just wondering if I need to wait 3-4 weeks between additions, as I have for fish.
Thanks,
Lisa :happyfish

Yeah, corals can be added multipley. How'd you like my new word? "Multipley" haha...
Nice pink zoos BTW, I saw them in the other thread. Keep the pics comin!!

Personally, I prefer to space them out. Corals are fickle creatures. Sometimes even with correct water perameters, they can have problems. 1 coral that dies isn't generally a problem for a tank - however 5 or 6 that die at once and sit in your tank dying for 8 hours while you're at work... now that can be a problem.
That said - I've done a couple mass purchases too

Thanks a lot Tizzo. Actually I did make another small purchase. That LFS had a really pretty devil's hand coral that I think will do really well in my tank (hopefully). I posted a couple more pics on my other thread.
Have you ever heard of zoos stinging other corals? The guy at that LFS said to keep my zoos away from other corals because they will sting others and injure them, is that true?

Most of the corals out there have some way of stinging. I'd dont put them right on top of something else and you'll be fine
