Clowns are killing my gonies

[Tuna Melt]

Hey guys, I have three large fluffy gonies that have been consistently growing for the past 9 months. They were always extended and happy, however, about a month ago, my clowns switched their preferred host from some large pandora zoanthids to the "goni garden" as I call it. One clown drills his nose into the center of the goni and its begun to create a dent in the coral. The gonies spend most of their day withdrawn now and I'm starting to worry for their health, any advice?

Thanks!

My clowns love the Goni’s. I have not observed any damage, but time will tell. Clowns are stubborn and except for moving the Goni’s, I don’t know what else you can do.

I have a massive goni colony, 3 BTAs that they completely ignore for this wonderful 4 bedroom APT.

Houses 2x clowns, 1x Yellow clown, 1x lawnmower. They all sleep there.

Maybe even sold their soul to it.

are you sure they arent nibbling the goni to build an immunity to it? Thats how they deal with anemone toxin
