Hi everyone got this figi plate coral have I put it in a good place or not

Looks good to me. You want them low and moderate to low flow. Don’t forget to feed that guy meaty food a couple times a week. Not only is it fun to watch them eat they will get very fluffy and happy doing so. Good luck

I always keep plates on the sand bed, they do have the ability to move a little bit so watch for that, but as long as they aren't in high flow under too much light they're good.

I have stuck it to that rock with proxy putty and can they eat pellets or can I cut shrimp up and feed tiny bits

It probably won't like that.... there is flesh all the way around and under it. Did you just barely attach it? It can eat pellets but shrimp and other foods will work well too

I have put the putty on a rock then I just pushed the plat to it abit till it just was holding then put it in frag tray then moved it out after 4hr seems to be okay but yeah it was slimey do you want a closer pic of how I have got it stuck down it keep getting knocked and moved my crabs and shrimp and fish

Like I said they can actually move on their own, adhering it to a rock could lead to some issues either as it grows or if it gets infected. It could also just slime it's way off of the putty. And depending on the plate (Heliofungia actiniformis gets quite large) around 6" or so.

Should I take it off the rock ???
