Default Who is moving the coral in my reef tank?

I had small colony of Candy Cane positioned by the back wall but it would always get moved and some time to a good distance away from original spot.
One day it was thrown half a tank across from where i put it.
I set up a car dvr to catch it in action.

Anyone wants to guess what is moving this coral?

Here is the livestock list:
Large French Angel
Hippo Tang
Two clown Fish
Two yellow Gobies
Coris Wrass (juvenile)
Large Strawberry Crab
Large Bobbit Worm

Mistery solved ! I know now.
Just wonder if anyone had similar experience.

Will post the video tomorrow.

Sorry should have mentioned that Clowns are Percula so they are smaller then Clarki.
No not the clowns.
Thx for guessing.

Default moving coral

my guess would be the Cloris wrasse-mine likes to pick up coral and rock and move them around-usually 4 times the size of him
