sorry for missing all that info. I stoped by the LFS and asked them for th test and here is all the numbers as you see on the photo.

I think I know whats the problem makes my coral not happy. Its calcium. Anyway thank you all for your advices so far.
 
Your ammonia is high as well as your nitrates and phosphates; likely causing issues, especially the ammonia; assuming that the test is accurate.
That said, you should test for ca and mg. Along with alk, those are essential for coral success.
I will say that goniopora are not easy corals and usually do better in well established ecosystems. Even with stable parameters they are not easy to keep.
