Office tank adventure

Beautiful bits of life you have growing there. 👍🏻
 
Another update. Everything is progressing well and I am trying to be patient and make sure WQ parameters stay stable. I have been adding a little (5ml) every couple of days of Red Sea Foundation B (KH/Alkalinity) because my values seemed a bit low (6.8-7.2 dKH). That seems to keep the KH at 7.6-7.8 dKH and my corals seem happier.
Is it worth chasing KH values?
My understanding is 8-12dKh is a target range, but also recognize there is a relationship with pH (which is fairly stable for me 8.2-8.3).
I went to the LFS and couldn't resist getting a few things to add to the tank.
Here are some pictures of the new additions

I know there is some risk with this one if it gets stressed

Chalise Coral
It keeps getting buried by my goby, so may need to move it higher in the tank

Toadstool Leather
Last night, once the lights were out, my emerald crab crawled on top of it and was bothering it. Is this something I have to watch out for?

I was thinking of adding GSP to the back wall. Good or bad idea?
