They have to be fed directly or indirectly. From Marine Invertebrates by Ronald Shimek PH D. "Food and Feeding: Zooxanthellate, but need significant feeding to stay healthy and grow. Will eat small pieces of fish, shrimp, or squid placed on the oral disk." They also tend to die if something constantly picks at them like a butterfly fish, crab etc.

So I gave away my plate to a buddy so he could try and salvage the peice, 2 months later I get it back and its looking good. 2 days later in my tank all the flesh is gone. I dont get it, switched to rodi water, parameters are in check. No one is picking at it. Am I just not meant to have plate corals? Lol

Sounds like something is eating it, I could be wrong but I think 2 days is way too fast for regular die off
