I’m running out of space in the sand and on my frag racks in my little tank. What are some good and colorful LPS or softie corals I can easily attach to the rock? That could go on the middle rocks? The one is really slanted so it’s a bit hard to attach a frag plug unless it’s completely flat. Definitely going to add some more rock flowers and maybe some mini carpets.

Maybe get a bush of duncans or candycanes on top? Or a bunch of pipe organs, usually I'd say montipora when the top is more empty but I'm not sure of your calcium and par and you did specify LPS.
A flowing torch can also look pretty nice up high but that can be a bit of a risk

I have thought about these. I have tried some different types of coral in the middle rock it’s such a weird spot and whatever I put there doesn’t seem to really like it. And I always end up moving them to where they are much happier.

I’ll add the idea of a few Gonis near the top. Everyone says keep par below 200. I’ve got several thar are near the top or on top. Here’s a few thoughts

+1 on this suggested placement.
 
One of these guys. (I forgot the name) they grow fast, are cheap and easy to attach to anything and frag very easily.
You can see it near the center here

How about a zoanthid garden? You can cram a lot of color in small spaces
 
A nice acan garden and a few different hammers/frogspawn would be nice, in my opinion.


Some gonis would be cool up there on the top of the rock as well. But they can be a little temperamental about light and flow, so you might need to make sure you have a little bit of room on the sand in case you need to move them there!

Good looking tank!
 
You could do an anacropora up top I know you’ve said you want to stay away from sps but I’ve found them to be very hardy and easy to care for. We set up our first reef tanks around the same time
