Good job! They like your tank!
I do question my tank placement though I'm thinking it might be best to relocate it. It doesnt show any signs of stress whatsoever but it's in a high light and moderate to high flow area. I feel if I didnt target feed reef roids it wouldn't eat haha.
What would you say about its location?

Looks fine to me. As long as it's tissue isn't being irritated from flow, yours looks fine, I'd leave it.

I have mine about mid tank with a ton of flow. In time it will grow like crazy if stable.

Here's mine. It started out as two dieing heads, now several hundred.

Stable and consistent. Candy canes are now seven years old. Everything else, since 2015. I've fragged the canes a couple times. Traded a smaller colony that had 70+ heads earlier in the year.

Mines super young the tank is only like 5 months old! Pretty stable too for my first reef tank! Havent had a fish, invert, or coral death yet! In even breeding hundreds of nassarius snails in this tank haha
