My Trachy is not as plump and is hard to the touch and not eating as much as usual. He was thriving for ages going so well, he hasn’t changed position but does get moved around in a circle from my snail I’m not sure if that’s why?
Any help would be appreciated

Movement is rarely, if never good. These things don't move in the natural environment.
 
Is there a spot in my tank that would be better for it do you think?
When I have had snails move coral, the coral often suffers, and then dies. Try to find a place where you can keep the coral from being pushed around, if possible?
 
if u think snails are bad, try urchins and small frags lol

I dont favor them although a good location directly on the sand which can irritate them. Assure water flow is not too strong as these corals dont move and movement may be from current
