Only critique I would have is you have three points of equal height. That seems slightly unnatural. For my tastes, and to address your point about it being centralized, I may pull it apart into two structures. It seems there is a natural separation to the design, but I am viewing it in two dimensions of course. If you could pull it apart a little and change the angle of the left branches a tiny bit I dare say it would be perfect to my narrow eye.

I tend to like two structures, but yours is a great example right now of a single structure that works on many levels.

For fun, this is my aquascape in my 45 AIO

That is so pretty! Thank you!
Maybe that is what needs... My anemone is resting between two of the tall rocks in the middle, (can't see him in the pic) but I could move the tall rocks on the sides like you suggested. Agreed it looks unnatural. I do like the way he set up one of those larger rocks to be a flat out cropping that offers some shade underneath. I wouldn't have thought of that had I been setting it up by myself. I would loved suggestions on the best corals to add first.

My original question, which I moved to the support forum, was regarding the starfish. He was labeled a Linckia and he has seven arms. Just wondering if this is normal or if he is possibly another species? Thanks for the warm welcome and all the feedback! Much appreciated!

Looks like a Dalmatian Linkia star (Linkia multiflora) to me; could be regenerative growth you see. They reproduce asexually by breaking off an arm which grows into another complete starfish.
 
That is what he was labeled as...Colored tip Linckia Multiflora. I just couldn't find any info of any with seven arms and everyone in my home swore he only had five arms when he arrived. *shrug* Maybe he is regenerating like you suggested. Many thanks.

CHRISTY!!!!! WELCOME to R2R!
Good looking tank there! Starfish are just strange. Got a couple of arms just crawling around my system.
Welcome back to the hobby. It's hard to stay away. I was out for over 13 years. 13 long and boring years.
Looking forward to your posts!

Welcome to the reef! That’s a great looking tank! How are you housing two pair of clowns in that size tank? I’d love to be able to do that but, alas, the Clarkii would never allow it...
