I recently picked up 4 frags that are about ready to place on the rock work, but I don't know where to put them. Would love some suggestions.

Here is my tank:

I labeled my existing placements: 1 anemone (it's withdrawn almost completely in this pick though), 2 chalice, 3 GSP on a dedicated island, 4 xenia on a dedicated island, but this one could be taken apart into two smaller islands, I would just lose that small cave underneath (which nothing uses right now anyways).

Here are the new frags that need to be placed:

From left to right: some sort of SPS stick, duncan, Zoa (tiny! on the opposite side so you cant see them here), Acan.

I have a Nero 3 just to the left of this frag rack so it's basically blowing right onto the rock work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Gsp mid to upper
Xeinia- mid to upper
Acan- lower third

Thanks for the comment, but first three there are already placed. Just looking for placement on frag rack items (SPS, duncan, zoa, acan), ideally with a little more specificity than which third. :) I want to make sure I'm accounting for how they might grow out with my specific rock structure and what I've got so far.
 
Okay, the duncan can go midway up the tank with moderate flow area, The acan put on the sand or flat rock with low flow, zoas actually like lower light, so find a place lower on the rockwork, The sps you want as high as possible to the light. Good luck!
