Welcome to RF. Once your membership has passed the 30 day time period you will be able to get into the classifieds forum to advertize your interest in buying coral.
You may have some issues with coral and that koran angelfish. They are known to nip at sps and soft coral. And clams, just so you know before you spend a lot of money on a clam, to find out the angelfish will probably kill it.
How big is your tank, and what kind of lighting do you have on it?
Theres no reason not to try some coral. Leathers or other soft coral like kenya trees, colt coral, spaghetti corals might work. Mushrooms? Never know until you try.

No no not doing a coral tank..... I want all macro algae..... no corals.... I have 55 gallon with 54w coralife actinic bulb with 10k white bulb.... I don't believe my lighting is good enough for corals... I mean correct me if I'm wrong.... but looking for help with nitrates over time so algae would be the way to go correct?

Oh, Okay, gotcha!
Well, there is Caulerpa Prolifera, Caulerpa Mexicana, Halimedia for green macro. Red Grape (Botryocladia sp.) Red Flame. Oh, you could also do some sponge. Orange fan sponge, or Orange or Red Tree Sponge. There is a blue sponge too, not sure what its called.
This is a cool direction to go with your DT.
Keep us posted on what your doing and post pics too!
