You should try to keep your salinity a tad more stable. Try topping up twice a day.
 Has the coralline spread to your glass yet? Personally, I don't like to add corals until there is quarter-sized patches of coralline growing on the glass which indicates the tank is "settling in". You didn't mention anything about your parameters... pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Calcium, Alkalinity, Phosphate, etc.

Feb you should be good to add some mushrooms especially if you have coralline growing. Start with those they are hardy. Then maybe a leather.
Drop the canister in my opinion they cause more trouble than the are worth. Or at least take out the sponge.

You still didn't mention anything about parameters...one of the most important determining factors in whether your tank is ready to sustain corals or not.
Canisters are nitrate factories when used with media or any kind, as they cause huge biological filtration, and that produces nitrates. Not a big deal with freshwater aquariums, but a big issue with reefs. You're best off filling it with live rock rubble.
