So I’ve had my tank for about 4 weeks now. It’s all cycled and I added a clownfish pair around 3-4 days ago. I want to start adding coral so just wanted to ask if I should wait longer or just try my hand at some of them? These are my parameters currently(albeit 2 days old).

Honestly, I'd wait a little longer because your parameters are likely to swing for a few months.

If you are going to add something tho , go with a soft coral and something cheap which you don't mind losing if things go south .
 
I would try some inexpensive corals, why not? Even if they die they are still bringing a load of different bacteria's and micro-organisms, I've always believed this is one of the fastest ways to mature a tank.
