+1 to @vetteguy53081 .... they don't want to be on that frag plug. Let them establish someplace else. Great idea!

You can always take a picture so we can see. What did you attach the coral with? How bright is the light and what are the parameters?

Welcome!
Sounds like you already have some good advice here. I make use of a BRS purchased CPR box to reduce flow on my corals n mushrooms that are resistant to attaching, though no specific clove polyp experience

If you need to reduce flow around the coral here is a hack
Use those clear fruit containers that contain strawberries or blueberries.
Eat the fruits
Rinse well
remove stickers
Weight it down using sand or gravel or rocks.... this will make it sink
There are small cutouts in these containers already that allow water to pass
You can either allow the coral to free float OR stick the soft coral between 2 pieces of rock (dont crush it but weigh it down
(rock/rubble ---> coral <--- rock/rubble)
If needed use a rubber band or thr surrounding rocks should be enough to hold it in place.
Slowly lower it into the water.
If the frag is small use a rubber band or mesh place the coral on top and use mesh or rubber band to gently hold it in place.
