Today I purchased my first corals bought 3 small one to try, hopefully I won't kill them. Unfortunately I forgot the names of the coral I bought. Could you guys please let me know whether my water parameters are ok to keep coral?

Cal 450ppm
Mg 1580ppm
Kh 10.6 dKH
Salinity 1.024
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 10mg
Ph 8.5
Temperature 26 degrees
I use Red Sea coral pro salt.
 
Your PH and KH is more suited to acropora and not so much non encased coral polyps like anems, zoas and mushrooms with out an external calcium skeleton. But as you have been told, it’s pretty good! Just be aware your readings can vary mid way and at the end of the lights out cycle, just make sure that’s okay!
 
One thing you didn't tell us is what class of coral. Since parameters, lighting, and advice depends on that, you need to call your store and ask what you bought.
