Before things get all settled, I would twist the rock down and make sure its sitting on the tank bottom, not resting on the sand.  If you get any digging fish in the future they could dig under and maybe make it unstable.  Prob not a big deal in a nano, but an easy check for you :)

I agree with Hunger

Patience can be the hardest thing.

ok if i go that route i would have to go right for the pair and a anemone, which is why i was thinking just the small coarl or two and let them settle in before i went for the large change... but this is why i was asking because im new to all this...
