new live rock layout need opinions!

I have a biocube 29 gallon, it has been running less then 4 months, i have a flame angel, a red blood fire-shrimp, a Seabe anemone and a clown, yes i no it was probably stupid to add a sebae to a young tank, however, i was unaware of that when i purchased it and i have babied it to ensure its survival. Below i will have pics of my tank. I want some opinion because i have a professional coming in tomorrow for the first time to make sure it is set up correctly and he may want to rearrange, i want some of your opinions to see if i should rearrange. My water conditions were perfect 0 ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph around 8.2-8.4 the dkh of carbon hardness and calcium were in good range for corals.

I say if you like it leave it, as long as there is enough live in the tank, which it looks that way.

I read a statement once here in this forum, something simillar to a statement about boats. There are only 2 times you are happy with the way your rock is arranged. One is the first time you see the rocks in their box, and the second is when you see the rocks in the box after you take yoyr tank down. In between those times, you are constantly re-arranging .

Having said that, I actually LIKE you rockscape!

Like they said, if it looks good to you keep it! The only thing you need to make sure of is that you don't have any dead zones in the flow that will collect waste.

This is your tank and you are the one that has to love it, so if you do then keep it the way it is

I like it! I'd definitely try to keep it as-is.
