Place it at the bottom of the tank in the sand. It can do damage to itself if you put it on the rocks.

Plate corals (Fungio, heliofungia) apparently inflate and deflate themselves to move around. therefore, like mystikdragon7 said, put it in the sand where it won't hurt itself. Gluing it to a rock would be a mistake and it would hurt itself.
As an interesting note, my reef club (BAR) had a fragging workshop where we cut up a helio fungia (brutally!) with a chisel. I couldn't believe anything could survive that as it looked like pieces of dead coral skeleton right after the fragging. 6 months or so later, I now have two healthy helio fungias! I'm always amazed how resiliant corals are!
They don't move, but their tentacles inflate and deflate.
Have fun!
