Plate coral

I've had this coral for about two weeks and in the past two days it started to look like so in the pic. Any ideas on what could be the problem

Some people say heliofungias are a bit picky and are a hit or miss type coral. I haven't kept too many so I can't comment on that though.
Try giving it some mysis or something perhaps. If it takes the food that's a good sign, if not keep trying.
What sort of flow is it in? To much flow can cause one to look like this.

Water parameters off or too much light would be my guesses. They like low to medium light from my experience.

What's mysis? My parameter aren't to bad but not perfect calcium is 390 mag 1200 others I haven't checked

It happened after I tried to feed it I put some shrimp in a syringe + I put planton and other stuff in the tank

I would give mine half pieces of krill and that seemed to keep it healthy

OK thanks ill try that

It's pretty much the same as brine shrimp, but a whole lot more nutritious. Brine shrimp is like the human equivalent of potato chips and mysis would be like a chicken breast or something.
Do you have any info on that planton product?
Also what else did you put in the tank? Is it possible you overdosed something or mixed chemicals you shouldn't have?

I had a idea and checked it upside down to make sure nothing was on it and afterwards it sprouted right back up. Thanks though I will buy some krill to start feeding it
