My tank is insanely cloudy. It was cloudy before a 20% water change yesterday, and cloudy after. Not really sure what is going on.

Could be a bacterial bloom or even algal. Pull some water out in a white cup to see if it has a tint to it. Either way make sure you have good aeration maybe even add an airstone and pump until it clears. If bacterial it will clear on its own eventually. If algal try skimming wetter.
 
Ive added some coral over the last couple weeks. They're looking pretty good, I think.

Fantasy island goni and favia of the gods are my two favorites right now.

I put a Moyeri leopard wrasse in the tank friday. I haven't seen her since. I keep looking at pics to remind me of whatbshe looks like.

I wish it were clearer, but its definitely a process.
its late, and I can't remember, but if you;re not running carbon or a UV, .... I'd look in to one or both.

I can say that carbon cleaned up my water clarity bigly.

I've got carbon in there. And i do have a uv unit in my farage, just havent used it.
 
I would go slow. If you insist on adding corals in the first month or two, I would echo what others have suggested. Mushrooms and zoas are hardy.
