Planning zoa placement similar to garden layout.

So I was thinking about my 110 setup I'm working on and remembered a garden blueprint I had saw at a local garden/mansion attraction. It made me wonder if anyone had built their scape from a pre planned blue print and then marked a certain area for a certain coral and a specific amount they wanted in each area to achieve a specific look? I would assume it's a tad bit harder to do with corals compared to plants as corals dont have a specific size they stop at or even a guaranteed offspring. Has anyone done this and how close to your plan did your finished project match. Heres an image of one of the garden layouts, it incluxes locations marked off and numbered with how many heads of each plant in each little numbered area.

An English garden. Cool idea. Wonder if you could go with a linear design and use egg crate to maintain your layout?

The major problem with this ” Zoa garden” is the fact that not every Zoa and Palythoa grow at the same speed. Plus, some will overtake others, especially the larger Palythoa species.
