Need advice on rock height

I'm starting up a Nuvo 40 Fusion Cube with a lot of stuff from my last tank but mostly new rock. I have tried to stick to a minimal look and adhering to the rule of thirds. My question is do you think these rocks are too low in the tank or should I pick them up a little? Do you think new Coral growth make up the height that I'm seeking?
Regards All

Corals grow up and out. Definitely leave plenty of head space.

My problem is the opposite, I tried rule of thirds, but about mid-height in the tank for 1/3 of the tank, and I can see now it'll be too difficult to grow big colonies without dropping my rock once the tank is established. not the best idea, but doable to utilize more space.

It hink what you have now looks fine, though your sand bed is probably a little crowded.

Thank you,

I Think I will leave some space for growth as you were saying.

I forgot to say that the items on the sand bed were just a staging area for the items i am transfering from my 16 Gallon tank
