First...the rock needs to be on the bottom and sand on top, so you have to move the sand to a corner so you can work. The danger to your fish and inverts are very real as the rocks are unstable and will topple..So remove the critters to tubs. I have done this when I have to remove a critter I can't get to.
Moving a rock on top is not such a big deal but aquascaping is another story. Once all is set you are kind of stuck. What you are talking about is a very risky thing, and should only be done in an emergency. Most of us move our power heads to change flow for a coral or move the coral. If the coral isn't high enough add rock.
If your corals are out of "ROOM" it's time to learn what fragging is.
