I’ve had a green Goni for almost a years and I’ll say it’s gone three hell and back with issues in my tank.
Everything now is on point , on dosers so I don’t forget. Lol
I started using chemiclean elite and my goni has shriveled up almost to nothing.
Salinity 1.026

LPS in general, no at least not in my experience. I've not owned a gonipora though so cannot advise on some reaction with that coral, though I'd be surprised.
 
I have a Goni and run gfo without any issues. The Goni appears to be growing quickly too. I did run gfo before adding the Goni, I don’t know if that makes a difference.
 
GFO can irritate LPS corals, if used aggressively and strips nutrients to fast will cause negative effects. I use GFO but without a reactor.
 
Maybe it’s just annoyed because of the water getting to clean too fast. I’ll try feeding it tonight
 
Try feeding it directly a few times a week. I use a mix of oyster feast and reef roids with the pumps off. Hope it pulls through.
