I am cautiously eager to start adding corals to my system. It has been up for about three months now. My parameters are/have been stable @ 80-82 degree's, 1.025sg,8.2-8.3ph, no detectable ammonia/nitrates/nitrites/phosphates, 12.3 dKH, and good calcium. Thanks for your time.

Your ALk seems a little high to me, I try to keep mine at 8.0 DKH and I usually do not let my temp go above 80 F. If by OK your Calcium is somewhere between 425PPM and 450PPM then I do not think you will have any trouble adding coral to your system right now but I would do so one or two pieces at a time to see how things go...Enjoy!

Sure...try a Hydnophora or a Pavona and see how those do for you.
