all is going well, the green polyps are looking great I can't wait for them to start growing down and around my branch rock, I think that is going to look so cool
As far as the plate goes well it does look like it is coming around I have been slowly feeding it and it is plumping up a bit, the fingers (not knowing what they are really called but you all know what I am talking about) are still very stunded and dark brown but I am hoping that it will come to what I have seen on some other pictures on the net. The mouth does open very quickly when I feed the fish.
I am going to take some pictures on of these days so you can see how all is doing.

If anyone out there has tips on how to make a plate coral come back to life please let me know, but I do think that it will come around.
