Today I bought:

Green Goniopora
3 hermits
5 nassarius
1 tube worm (they gave me a dead one so and I cant return it so its off the list)

been there for about 18 hrs now and looking healthy.. i also got 1 camel shrimp in there.. is this safe?

Goniopora may not have been a good choice.

Here is a coral database that you can use that has a link to click on the right, for a list of easy starter or beginner corals.

Your camel shrimp may pick at corals /polyps ect and can pick at a feather dusters crown causing it to decrown ... They are iffy if they are reef safe . I had one who picked at only 1 specific colony of zoas but have heard others say they were less discriminating and picked at all their corals stressing them out and then they would not open ...
The goni I agree are a very difficult coral to keep
