I really love goniapora but I haven’t had the most success recently with them. The one I have now looked like it was doing well originally but lately hasn’t been looking too great (polyps are still extending but not as far as before) and I noticed one of the polyps died and exposed the skeleton :(. Was hoping to get any advice from people who have successfully kept the coral. My tank is the 32g biocube and my lighting is a ai 16hd prime.
 
The single thing that seems to make the most difference to my gonis is target feeding reef roids. If you aren’t target feeding them with something, you may want to consider doing that.

+1 I would say frequent target feeding is essential to success
 
Tbh mine seem to be doing well and I rarely target feed, like ever. However I have been told it does help, and was suggested benepets to feed.
 
Thank you for all of the advice! Will try to target feed more and see how it goes
