Can I get feedback and suggestions on my 40 gallon aquascape dry mock up?

I'm really bad at this. Tank dimensions are 30"x18"x18" have shifted then a little to make sure I can get my hand around all the edges since taking the pic but the rocks are placed against each other in the same way.

I also added a pic with some of the other rocks I have left still.

Planning on keeping a clownfish pair, red fireshrimp, and one other small non-agressive fish TBD down the line (probably a goby of some sort?). Going for a mixed reef w/ mostly softies. Possibly an anemone when the tank is mature.

I think it is fine as is, as long as you have the rock far enough away from the glass to clean. I am not a huge fan of single arches but it looks good :)

I’m not going to offer a critic but if your tank experience is anything like mine no matter what you start with you’ll probably change it a few times before you’re completely satisfied so just give yourself some room to clean and give the fish some place to hide. Good luck!
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
