By "rocks", if you are referring to those mineral things that are more dense than water, I think as long as they are stacked well, you shouldn't have any problems with S. lucipinnis knocking them over.

This should be fine.

If by some unfortunate circumstance there isn't a preferred hidy-hole a syno might try and squash or dig under an exposed edge/corner of a rock so they should be sited on the tank base if at all possible - this is highly unlikely but needs to be considered
