Gonipora is medium light. Can acclimate to different lighting but only over time. It may not be why it is not expanding. Some are just more hardy than others. The do prefer med flow as well. Is the better of the two getting more flow? How long have you had the one in question?
Have you checked your water perimeters? If so list them. Ph, alk, calcium, magnesium, salinity, phoshates and nitrates.

Nothing in your perimeters seems to be causing it. You may try moving it a new area of thank. It may not like the flow or light it is getting. Even in nee area it may take a few days to respond. If you acclimated them the proper amount of time. It just may not be happy. Encrusting goniopora are more hardy than ball types. Guessing both yours are the same type.
