Mine are liking a bit more light about 14 inches from the surface.

Closer up of the one in back.

Tagging along, I've had the same issues with my goni. Had it halfway up they tank did great for a few months then no polyp extension. Moved it back down to the sand to see if there would be any difference. Nothing yet : (

I will try that, I want to see mine like yours do you have strong current? I see some sps there also

I had mine in the middle but I thought that the current was to strong so I changed to the bottom of the tank but I see growing up so the problem wasn't hunger

They like consistency... don't keep moving them around even if they don't seem to initially like their new placement. I have my red goniopora on the sandbed (still getting decent light) and in a high flow area.

Mine doesn't get fed directly, but I feed phytoplankton daily and cyclops 2x/week

Mine in higher flow on the sand bed and under Hydra 52. Mine is an ORA Red Goniopora. Your Gonio actually looks pretty good.

I think it looks ok too, I would just let it go a while longer and see what happens. Keep up target feeding if it helps and you aren't having algae issues...like I am at the moment [emoji23]

I will wait a few days to see if the tentacles extend, before I try to move it. It seems helty has a good color and growth but compared with the most that I see here is very closed.
I don't feed directly I use frozen fish eggs and fish blood, mi recepie whit some dry phytoplankton and zooplancton, and fresh cultured phyto and I see a good reaction from them feeding.
My doubt is mainly related to current I heard a lot of opinions some like strong others not so much, light I think that all must have a good light

It might be the food. The corals expand fully to take food. But if they are satisfied they don´t.
Many LPS don´t expand fully if they are getting a lot of light. How high is Your tank and what lighting do You have? (And time).
