Thanks. Thats what I was hoping. Then again, I don't know much about how to place corals like to create better scape after they are big or just keep trimming along the way?

That left structure looks good, the right side seems a bit unnatural. Coral placement would help over time as @Neilth1 mentioned. What if you simply turned that center piece about 60-90 degrees to make it seem less similar to the piece leaning on it?

I agree with it looking somewhat unnatural....I would leave the rocks on the left but "mess up" the two arches on the middle/right so they don't look so "placed". Try to make it look more natural, but still have some arches or caves....my opinion of course :) Either way, once it grows in with a bunch of coral, you won't even be able to see the rocks!

I totally agree with you about the two arches, they look unnatural. Perhaps adding some additional rock to the right side of the tank will help?
