Goniopora coral sulking

[Britott]

Hi guys and gals, I have a goniopora coral that I have had for around 6months now, It's doing well but on occasion it can sulk for a few days, is this normal for this coral, I have heard that they can be quite hard too keep and was hoping for maybe any success stories, what worked for you as placement, flow, lighting etc, I've been feeding reef roids which it seems too love and on occasion frozen Cyclops.
Any thoughts would be great guys.

Could you better define what you mean by "sulking"? That would be subjective otherwise.

Only partly extending, just heads showing, like I said this isn't all the time just occasionally, next time it does it I will take a picture.

I've always found gonis to be more sensitive to alkalinity than other lps. If you have any alk swings they will usually let you know. It should recover as long as your parameters are stable
