IMHO, the most important part of placing a magnifica is putting it on a pedestal where it can't detect a path to higher ground. If it can reach out and touch the glass or other rocks, it's likely to go on a walk about. They are not likely to move down hill. So, if they're placed on top of a column, with nothing around them, they are very likely to stay there. Good random flow, and a point source of light, like a MH, as Minh pointed out, will also help to keep them in place. Given the right environment, they will stay put for years on end.

Every week, my magnifica will walk down the pedestal and do a circle around, then go back up. He usually does this when the lights go off and climbs back on top of the pedestal after the lights come back on in the morning. Good thing I have no corals around there yet =)
