I’ve been in the hobby for about 5 months now, did a little budget build on a 30g IM aquarium I bought for under $200 on facebook market place. I have very basic petco heaters, a couple of amazon power heads, and a USA Orbit Marine led light. I have several corals including a kenya tree, zoas, acans, favia, frogspawn, duncan, and a pulsing xenia. All of which have been fairly successful, minus a favia and recently the xenia. I’ve had my water tested by a couple different lfs, and everytime i’ve gone in my water has tested perfectly. Not sure what is causing my xenia to act up (turning gray and is very thin), but I’d assume the favia is bleaching from being under too high of light. Anyways, I have to move in a couple weeks, so it will be my time to change my aquascape if I choose to do so, one thing i’ve found is very limited space to put corals. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Pics will be attached. Thanks! (Most corals now are shrunk because I took the picture right after a water change)

I would suggest is making the scape have a smaller footprint so that you can easily reach all of the glass to clean it. Then follow the rule of thirds or golden ratio to guide and try have enough caves for fish and tinker from there
 
I agree with @Peach02 ......definitely try to keep the rock away from the glass for both cleaning and water movement. I would also add I would break up some of the bigger rock into smaller pieces. Big pieces of rock in smaller tanks make the tank appear smaller than it is....plus it will give you some more rock to play around with.
