first saltwater tank, got some questions

[254014]

Hi! around 4 months ago i set up my first marine tank, i do have prior fishkeeping experience as i have kept a figure 8 puffer for quite a while now, so im already used to salt addition ect, anyway, the tank is an evo 13.5g, ill put the current stocking below.

caulerpa prolifera (it cleans the tank for me, whats not to love)
strawberry conch
turbo snail
humbug damsel

i dont plan on adding anymore livestock other than corals, which is my first question, would you recommend something like GSP as a first coral? i really want something thats gonna cover the rockwork and isnt too difficult to look after, also i plan on removing the caulerpa prolifera down the line so dont worry about them competing for nutrients, if anyone has suggestions id love to hear them. My second question is regarding the humbug damsel, i did do quite a bit of research prior to adding her however i didnt think to ask on a forum, most of the things i heard were that they do fine in a tank this size but may become more aggressive, is that true? if not i could possibly upgrade in the future,

Thanks!

If you are looking for a coral to cover the rock work a frag of gsp would be great! You could also get pulsing zenia thoes are super cool! And that damsel will be fine especially if you dont have any other fish

(ignore the glass my scraper hasnt arrived yet)
ended up getting a frag of gsp, i believe its a white eye gsp? anyway it opened up within the first few hours of being added and the damsel seems to love guarding it, its part of her territory after all, the green isnt as potent with the stock light which i personally think looks quite nice, but as it spreads down the rock i do plan on upgrading the light and getting an ato to account for the new lid :)

Can't wait to see what that gsp will look like in a couple of months!

gsp sounds like a great option here.
