I am new to this hobby and purchased a 52 gal tank. I have read alot and placed the rocks as shown in the pics to have many hiding places. I am also planning to get corals. Is this a good arrangement or shall i change it before it gets crowded?

Looks good, thing about those corals, most if not all will try to grow upwards :) .

I have rearranged my rock stocking 2x in the past year, over time will be harder and harder to move anything.
I found it some what better if you stock the rocks in the middle in H&V, this way will be essayer to clean the back glass, avoid to stock rocks to the tank wall. Test your setup, make sure by moving one rock or some sand will not have cascading effect on the rest. I seen 75G acrylic with dangerous crack from a falling rock.

Thank you all for the advice. I would probably try to keep the rocks away from the sides for cleaning. Appreciate your help !
 
looks very good. Do you have any problems with the blue damsel

The best way to set up your rocks is to do it before there's any water or sand in the tank . I recently upgraded to a 100 gallon tank. And was able to do that I'm Pretty happy with the set up. Make sure to use the heaviest rocks and the biggest ones ad your base rocks , then just stack em or configure them to your liking . Remember to make a lot of caves ! Good Luck!
