My Flower Pot Coral was open and doing extremely well but over the last 2 weeks it has barely been extending itself and i noticed the new growth is turning brown. Any recommendations? Maybe a Bayer dip if it has a fungus? See pic below

Its dieing/receding. I have lots of gonis and base from my exp it’s water quality. Try a large wc to see if that’ll help. BOL!
 
Do you do regular water changes? If so then I don't think another will do much. What's your parameters, any swings in chemistry? Do you feed the coral? Goniopora can be kept well with some nutrients. IME, they did not do well in a zero nutrient environment.

Cal- 458

Alk - 8.01
PH - 8.1

Last water change was 1 month ago . I use reef roids 1x a week
 
Hows your nutrients? Any other coral nearby? Are those numbers consistent? I don't think water changes hurt by any means but not sure it will fix the issue.

Nutrients are perfect. Phos and nitrates are low on perfect range. I have one other gono that is recessed but another looks amazing. Polys and anemones and fish are fine as well.

Why water change once a month? Since reef roids give much nutrients in the system. Should have once water change every 2 weeks is recommend. Mine is change every 2 weeks to keep water clean and nutrients low.

X100...Roid mucks up your water pretty quick. I use it sparingly.
