A video would be more helpful
I agree a video of at least 2-3 minutes would be better to see the flow and how it reacts.
From the look you are bending it with the flow some. It might move if it does not sense it is safe. Has it been here for a while? Howe is the flow? Does it rotate or is it static? Can it be moved or deflected?
It might be happy though. If that is something lime a MP40 and it is in Reef mode, it might be just one of the modes and is OK with the movement for a short period of time.

One of my rock flower nems gets blasted by the flow from one of my Tunze 740gph powerheads, and it hasn't moved since I rebuilt the aquarium after moving back in July. That being said, even though it may adapt to that flow regimen like mine has, they generally seem to prefer more moderate flow.

Here is a video of the flow from two angles:

It has been in the tank a couple of days. It came on the rock so I assume it is firmly attached. I can change the vortech flow pattern but but the location.

Thanks for the video. I agree it is in a good spt with adequate flow. The reason I asked for the longer video is because some people take a picture where you can see it, best. Not taking into account for the flow. I thought maybe your earlier picture was just a random picture showing off the flow part, for your question.
Since you said you have a Vortech on it. what was it on when you took the video? Flow and % wise. Do you have it adjust to different flow types during the day? Do you have filters on your power heads?
