This stunner RFA has been on the move since I got it 4 months ago. It’s colored up so it’s definitely had positive growth, but the amount of movement is concerning especially the last few days. It’s been hugging the surface even partially coming out of the water. Should I manually move it to the sandbed/rock? Or just let it do its thing? I could put it in my evo with other RFAs also.

It was from a group of those Belize or DR RFAs that have been giving a lot of people trouble. 2/3rds of them died the first month on me in a tank filled with RFAs multiple years old.
 
I think It’s usually best to let RFAs move on their own since they’ll find the spot with the right light and flow. I will only advice you reposition gently if it’s in a risky location, otherwise; patience.

Thanks. There is really no risky location in this tank. Just an airstone bubbler for flow. I think all of the corals are RFA safe also.
