fungia care

It's way retracted. And it's a good one. It will look like an anemone when it comes out.
Keep it on the substrate, in good light and good but not abrading flow. Like any lps, it wants: no nitrate or ammonia, 400-450 calcium, 8.3-11 alkalinity, salinity of about 1.025, temperature of about 80, and stability in these readings. No coral likes swings in parameters.
Chop up some table shrimp and put it on the disk. You may have to do this a few times [and get it off after half an hour if it doesn't swallow it.
Once it does come out, just keep it away from things with sweepers and it will take care of itself otherwise: they can get up and move if they want to, but a content one stays put.
If it should die, [though it looks quite healthy, just dormant] leave it in place: they reproduce when dying, and grow many little fungia around the skeleton.
That's going to be gorgeous when it blooms out.
