I got a Gigas and a Maximus and put them in a 6 week old tank. That was about 4 months ago and they're both doing very well. I wouldn't recommend that for the beginner but it can be done. I would agree with getting aqua-cultured ones, I got mine from AlgaeBarn. I would also agree with keeping the Iodine at 0.06 or there about. I think that may actually be the "secret sauce" for a lot of corals that people have trouble keeping, such as Zoes as well.
You obviously need to keep a very stable parameters for everything else- salinity, temp, alk, calcium, pH. They also love lots of light and moderate flow. I also feed my plankton daily but I've read that's not entirely necessary. Mine were about 1 1/2" each when I got them and they've probably tripled in the last 4 months.
