Help me with coral placement, PLEASE!

[GuilhermeLba]

Hey guys, I'm new to de saltwater world and I would love to hear some tips and opinions of you.
In those pictures you guys can see the front view and the top view of my tank.

(I did add more rocks on the top view picture)

The corals there I'm intending to put are soft and 2 or 3 lps.
The ones there I'm thinking are mushrooms, zoanthids, palythoas, cloves, leather and duncan but I'm open to suggestions.

What I thought:
Green: mushroom island
Red: Zoas and palys
Orange: zoas and palys
Light blue: cloves
Pink: Duncan
Yellow: Leather
Dark blue: Don't know, maybe ricordea or gsp metallic?
Black: Maybe mushroom green hair
Purple: maybe leather finger or kenia tree
White: hammer, frog or torch

Help me, please!

(Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language)

I would start with just a few first and work on husbandry and get used to how your tank behaves with coral.
Great time to get the hang of testing and employing a plan to keep things as stable as possible.

The mushrooms will be the most hardy but they will eventually overgrow and kill other things.
Cloves and palys are agressive too

This is a great plan, and your English is better than mine and it’s my native language.
I would place the leather coral where the pump flow direction goes over the top so there’s current over/around it but not directly hitting it hard.

Also i noticed you have CUC but no fish.
A fish will really help your reef tank thrive in the long run too.

That's a good advice, but too hard for an anxious person like me ;Facepalm

Thank you! I try my best
And by coincidence the yellow line (leather line) is near the pump flow

Yeah, there's no fish there because it's cycling, but I'm intending to put two ocellaris, one fridmani, one yellow damsel and a yellow watchman, is it too much? Its's a 40cm cube

Id forget the yellow damsel in a tank that small. The clowns are damsels too and will be agressive enough.
How long has the tank been up?
Whats your cycle method consisting of?

If you want to do Torch Corals make sure they are away from everything else.

Maybe get another small rock or something and put them there.

They will sting and kill any other coral they touch.

Ow, ok, I would like to have a blue fish with them, do u recommend any other?
I heard that the yellow tail damsel was the least angry one, thats why I chose it
And to cycle I'm adding stability about a week on my tank, my ammonia is 0, but my nitrite is pretty high, unfortunately..
And Im also adding little portions of pellets everyday
In my country we don't have Dr. Tim products to cycle

Ow ok, I would like to put them on that white spot, because it has a good flow and lighting, but maybe I should change, is there any other coral with that similar movement to put there?

 

[GuilhermeLba]

Whats the best coral to put on that white spot there? I would like to have something with a lot of movement there, like a torch, maybe a leather long polips, but is it too much? two leathers in a 40 cm cube?
