Move it were there is more flow. Other than that you'll have to turkey bast it everyday.

Well it is very close to the powerhead so it gets lots of flow...
Other than that, turkey baster every day.
So do they normally turn up like that?

it looks like it is located behind the powerhead? In which case, even though it is close, it probably isnt close enough to the actual stream.

I think the point that they're trying to make is that detritus shouldn't be collecting on the cap if it's getting a lot of flow.
You may also consider using filter bags at the end of your overflow to catch some of the detritus.
OK. When I placed the frag it was flat. The flow was diagonal onto it's surface. Since mounting it, the frag has grown an edge that now is almost perpendicular to the flow. That creates a current that pulls the detritus into the bottom of the edge.
So, I am not sure moving it will solve the problem. The coral will just grow another edge to create the current as it causes a flow across the polyps which allows them to eat.
Anyway, I will continue to blow it off with the turkey baster. Oh and my overflow has a filter so it is not coming from there.

do you have any jawfish or fish that sift the sand?
No. The only thing that moves stuff around is my urchin.
