Hello,
I’ve very limited experience with plate corals. I got this orange fungia about ten days ago. I can’t decide if it looks happy/healthy or not. It’s never been more inflated, and the aqua sd photo looked similar, inflation wise. I don’t see any obvious signs of tissue loss. My concern is that I think it’s mouth looks stuck open and has been, unless this is just that way they look. It doesn’t seem to eat too well either, but it’s hard to tell.m (typically give it reed roid paste)

Any fungia pros know if it looks ok or distressed, and/or have some pointers for me to get it healthier?

Thanks!!
 
My orange one took about a month to get comfy in my tank.
 
Thanks. It remains stressed. A few bits of sand are on it, it makes no effort to clean itself, and even looks like there is a bit in its open mouth. I can baste off the rest. Should I pick it up to help clean out the mouth (flip it) or just let it be?

No tissue loss yet, must be very sensitive to tank moves.
 
I've got 4 , 2 of the orange
They can sulk for a while after being introduced to a new tank .
They like stable alk
Try to blow sand off of them when possible and keep trying to feed it at night , once it starts to take food it will look Abit more inflated and the short tentacles will come out more
