Vertical Mag on the move - video's enclosed

[Mad Marine]

I would appreciate your opinions on the following.

My Mag has moved from the rightside of the overflow to the left side. The Mags tentacles were getting pulled into the overflow, I attached zip ties and netting to prevent this from happening any further. There is none on the leftside, so I could add it there also. The position is quite strange, as its sitting vertical. I was thinking of moving the nem to a free standing rock structure and see how it does. I've enclosed videos (previous and today) and you can see the free standing rock structure on the right side that's close to the glass. The tank was established 7/12/16. Is it okay to move it or no??

To be clear, tank was established 7th Dec 2016

IME, mags will move whenever they can "feel" the walls of the tank. They like to be at the highest part of the tank, and if tentacles can touch the walls, they'll continuously try to move.

How large is the tank? The size of the mag looks disproportionate to the tank.

The age of the tank seems awfully new, but those experienced with reefs and nems can get away with it assuming they follow the appropriate protocol --using established live rock, seasoned filter elements, etc. and can keep water parameters consistent and in-check.

If you can lower the rock pillar on the right side of the tank, and add a flat rock on top, that would probably be ideal.

It's a Red Sea Reefer 350. Thanks
