    The sixline is likely picking off pods and things it sees on/around the coral.

    How is the flow in that area? Decently high to the lights?

    Sand would be better and in a vertical position. I would think they will leave it alone after a little while.

    I wish I could put it in the sand but I have no room it's in a C shape I did my best not to have it laying on rocks too bad or pinched. The flow is moderate around it it deffinately isn't really low flow and it's good on lights.

    It needs low (nearly zero) flow, low lighting (sandbed strength), and it has to be vertical (they don't grow horizontally in the wild).
