I thought the same thing until I realized I did the same to my tank =P. Haha. I thought you can add as much corals as you want at once since they barely add to bioload. As long as water parameters are good, people say there's no harm between adding 1 piece of coral vs 10 pieces of coral at week 7.

To original OP, I am heading there next Saturday to pick up a tailspot blenny. Looking forward to see what else they have. Their Facebook always show great specials on Saturdays.
 
Its not the amount of coral, but elegance corals and carpet anemones are typically a little less resilient than a mushroom coral or a torch coral for example.
 
all my corals are doing quite well including new elegance i bought from Xzotic last week
HOWEVER... I tried purple carpet anemone and it went BYE BYE inside of 3 days
YUK whadda stinker
 
In my opinion , you need to let your tank mature a lot more before you add those type of corals and anemones. You might still be cycling! Either way let it be a learning experience and with some patience one day you will have the perfect tank.
