Looking for help and suggestions on coral placement

[Spdjnky]

Can someone take a look at this picture and the corals on this section of my reef and give me an idea of what I need to do.I have the Leptastrea on the right below the Ricordea Florida. The coral right below the Ricordea is I don’t know and the Zoa’s are old ones that won’t go away. I have a new Orange Ricordea that I thought would blend in with the one that is there but spacing and all that I don’t know.I also have that new peace of live rock that is begging me to put something on it I would like Zoa’s but not sure any help or and suggestions welcome even negative ones because if I’m doing something wrong need to know

I prefer my rics in the lower light areas like where yours is now, so anywhere around there and no problem added to other or different rock.
I personally would put that hammer on a rock just to keep it off sand bed.
All looks good to me!

I've been told the ricordea will take out the Leptastrea and then the coral right below by the zoa's don't know?

The Hammer is like 10 months old and I first had it where the hole is now at first it did great there but then just didn't like it. I think the crabs and shrimp or something that could bother it from below was the problem so I moved it to where it is now and after a month it seems to be settling in.

I am trying to figure out what to do with this side of my reef so any help or suggestions on corals will be welcome I just don't have a good vision on what would look good and with the rock the way it is

The acro is mounted on 45 degree angle, it's a table and probably should have been mounted flat but sometimes they do fine like that. That's the only thing I see off

Yeah, if that was mounted flat towards center it would have made a really cool ledge, but I'm not sure if I'd mess w/ it now if it's secured well.
It should table out from where it is, it just might take a little time to flatten out.

Really all I could see or say is some time growing out, maybe some more corals.
Acans would be a nice add on lower less lighted areas, couple colored sticks on the right added would be nice.
Maybe a gorgonian in center maybe, photosynthetic is easy, like purple frilly, maybe,

It'll get there.

Yes I see that and thought that might be the case but I had so much trouble mounting it and then when I put the new piece of rock in to fill in the valley that I did have a Birds Nest there that started turning white from the bottom that I took right out thinking it was not going to make it. Dummy me I could have fragged it but being new didn't think about it until it was to late. But back to the Acro I knocked it loose again so I hope it can adjust because I don't think I should disturb it anymore. It's been in my aquarium for 6 weeks mounted for 4 weeks give or take a day or 2 and I'm really hoping to see some color soon.

I also just see that the last picture was old did not have the new live rock filling the valley so heres the right pic and I have more corals coming as WWC's cyber Monday sale got me and I bought a frag pack of 4 more frags to go with these new ones.

Thanks as u can see I'm not very good a seeing what would look right as the reef matures but I am learning. My first thought was to put the birds nest all the way out on the tip of the new rock and the my friend said that the torch would look great out on the end then I thought maybe yea and put the birds nest on the left top in front of the Anenome. I thought that the new rock going out would be a great place to fill with different Zoa's but to much light? Just not sure and then I get procrastinating ......seems like I'm better at that than anything......lol..not
