It's a 29g tank w/a 250w MH over the center.

I have a 3 headed candy cane coral. I'd like to eventually add a frogspawn or hammer and have some LPS on the sand bed. I do have a few tiny zoa colonies on the rocks now.

Where would you put the candy cane?

Just personal opinion but as you look at that pic I would put the candy cane on the left side where your lower rock meets the rock that goes up higher. I think the frogspawn or hammer would look good in the middle a little to the right tucked in with the rock that is in the shape of two fingers.

good thinking.

This is my first time placing something that isn't a zoa :)

Off to one of the sides. My candy doesn't like bright light or heavy flow, so keep that in mind. It puffs out a lot more instead of hugging the skeleton when in low flow and light
