Goniopora troubles

[christa1421]

All my corals are doing wonderful…except for this goniopora. I have had it since December and has never opened. I’m not sure about all the potential diseases/infections corals can get. Does this look like brown jelly disease? Not sure how to try to make it better or if it’s too far gone. I did use coral rx back in December when I first bought it before putting in the display tank. I have tried several different places in the tank with various amounts of flow and light. Tried another coral rx dip last month. It’s just been a struggle for it the whole time I’ve had it. Maybe if I could get a positive ID on what type of infection it is, I could try to treat if it isn’t too late. Thanks so much

Here’s photos of it today with the whites turned all the way up, just for the photos

looks like its been on its way out since you got it. It also looks like you placed it too close to the hammer which could be stinging it

its dead, the snail is crawling on it eating the algae growing on it.

That’s close to being a Goni-er. Sorry couldn’t resist. That looks like algae so barely any flesh left. With good params it might come back but something caused it to get this way to begin with.

Make the funeral arrangements.

I had the same issue. I have hammer, torch, Gsp, paly and shrooms. Goni never made it

Gonis need nutrients in the water and benefit from manganese dosing. I suspect you might have been lacking in both categories.
