It may surprize you the size of "meaty treats" these thing can eat. I had one several years ago that ate a whole mandarin.

I think this one is small enough that it can't eat my fish. I think. I hope. I figure my Twin Spot is at greatest risk, but if he covers the plate in sand maybe he deserves it.
 I just dosed the tank with Pohl's Coral Vitalizer, and then fed the tank ArctiPods. I saw some slight puffiness in the plate, but it was barely noticeable. I'll feed it some mysis in a little while.

Zero feeding response.
Should I just wait a couple more days and try again? How much in the in the way of nutrients will this coral take in from the water column? I just dosed Fuel and Microvert yesterday. Plus, I tend to be a little heavy handed when it comes to feeding mysis and ArctiPods. It is looking okay at this point. The rim is noticeably purple, and while the green certainly doesn't constitute "neon," some of the centre of the plate has coloured up quite a bit and is obviously green (though about 30% of the plate is still more brown than green).

Hey Enigma,
I'd say give the plant some time. Wait until there is good extension of the tenticles and until the brown color on the plate is gone to feed. The plate is photosyntgetic as well, so it will feed that way. Not too sure of the nutrients it will take from the water column other than some calcium when the plate grows
