Move Seabae from 125 to 27?

My Seabae of about 3 weeks has been in my 125 but it will not attach. I have it protected from clown with a plastic 3 litre bottle cut in half with plenty of holes for water circulation. My tank has a return flow from a Reef Dart and also a Tunze wavemaker. I skim, have 3 MH 150 wt and 4 96 wt actinics. PH 8.4, 0 nitrates, nitrites, amonia, calcium a little low at about 380-400, mag is about 1300, alk 2.5, temp 80. If I don't keep the clown out of it it can't eat and he just pesters the heck out of it. I want it to settle down and attach before I let him at it. Just did a wter change last night of about 35 gallon. I would like to have it closer to a metal Halide so I'm thinking about moving it to my 27 hex which if it stays high in the rocks it will be very close to the lights which I feel would benefit it and maybe later moving it back to the 125.
It is eating and looks pretty good just not attaching.

Well, normally they don't attach to rocks, and prefer sand.
I would prefer to keep in larger system to help keep params as stable as poss.
