This is my first reef tank, so I wanted to get some advice/assistance when it comes to coral selection and placement ideas (as well as if I should adjust the aquascape at all). This is a 10 gallon tank bare bottom that I plan to eventually upgrade to a 75-90 gallon tank in 6-12 months. I am currently in the first week of cycling the tank, but there's no time like the present to start planning my reef for when it is ready! Since I am new to reefing, I am planning to start with easier, cheaper corals and open to a mix of softies, LPS, and maybe even hardier SPS as I learn the ropes. Probably not going to add and GSP or Xenia because I fear it would take over such a small tank quickly. Looking forward to everybody's recommendations!

It looks really good! I would recommend starting with zoas perhaps. I def agree that you shouldnt put any xenia in there as well
 
Rock scape looks good! Nice room all around for maintenance, not too much rock. +1 on the zoas. Kenia tree or mushroom too.

I definitely plan on having some zoa. I was it thinking maybe on the flat bottom portion of the structure on the right. I could put 2-3 different colors on there and let them grow together to surround the piece that sticks up.
