Hi, I agree with Morty.
When I cycled our tank, I put in live rock first, than later added a damsel (which we still have…).
I was told that live rock is a great way to get the tank cycled and vital for the future of the tank.
We were also told to slowly add stock. It was our first salt water tank and of course we could not wait to add stock. But, we listened to our LFS and added on fish at a time, or a coral at a time so that the tank can get used to the newbies. They told us if you add too much stock at once it is not good for the tank. Even now they suggest not to add too much at once.
