Hello,

A few months ago I got a pink goniopora and it was perfect when I got it. After a while, as many people anticipate and warn about, it completely retracted and wouldn’t come out. After a month or two, I increased the frequency of maintenance and fed the corals more and this is how it looks now.

it is now slightly elevated from its skeletal structure, but still not completely open. Is this a good sign? What should I keep doing in order for it to open fully?

Goni's like medium light and low to medium-pulsing flow if you can manage it. A light burst and period of rest. If it is recovering that is a good sign.
