it still doesn't look bad..... how is the flow on it? Mine all like good flow, I don't even feed mine.

Also notice that your nutrients are borderline too low, keep an eye on that. Goni's, like most lps, enjoy some nutrients in the water.

Raise po4 to 0.1 ppm, have you done an icp test? Some anocdotal evidence gonis liking non-zero manganese.

Yes, last week and manganese was undetectable.

Medium flow puffs mine up more.

Phosphate is a bit low, but it's possibly just adjusting to your tank. If it stops opening completely, I would start to worry.
