Cool My First coral

I just got a rock the size of your fist with 20 small green mushroom corals on it. I also found 2 small red mushroom corals. There is also 1 small tube worm. I was just wondering what i should do to keep these corals alive? Will blue legged hermit crabs eat my coral? What should the salinity be? Thanks for your help!

stuff

salinity should be 1.23 to 1.25, preferably towards 1.25..

the crabs should only eat the detrius and other random stuff (algae) that came on the rock and is removeable... they will leave the shrooms alone...

*specific gravity* should be 1.025 to 1.026 (darrin forgot the 0) and corresponding to a *salinity* that should be around 35 ppt.
