Gonipora

Is this goni a goner? Should I toss it? Is there anything I can do to save it?

Really a tough question based on that photo. It looks like it still has polyps, just that they aren't extended. It could be unhappy.

How old is the tank? How long have you had this coral?

I’ve had the tank for a little longer than a year and I’ve had the goni since February. Half of it seems affected and the other half seems fine.
I have three others and they are happy but they are newer.
Would you recommend a dip?

I'd recommend a better photo (or 2) and more advice from others. #reefsquad

I've not had great success with goniopora corals myself, and I only dip a coral if I see it has something that needs to be removed. But then I'm an outlier here when it comes to dipping corals or quarantining anything. So I'm not the guy you want to ask for help.

Hopefully somebody else on the Reef Squad with experience in this area will jump in and help.

its very difficult to tell from that picture but as Ron says, it looks at the moment like it still has polyps so I wouldn’t give up just yet. Maybe clearer pictures.

Maybe try altering the flow, Ive found they much prefer medium to high flow myself. I have some in this flow which are 4 times larger than ones put in at the same time, but different flow.
