Is it dying?

[dexter91]

I bought this goniopora 6 months back. It was a healthy specimen that time. My clown started hosting and it started shrinking, now it doesn't open more than the below picture. Is it gone? Any way to bring it back. I am feeding it every other day with reef roids and currently using red sea reef energy nutrition. What should i do now? Apparently the water parameters are stable
Temp- 26 degree celcius
It is in a medium flow area under medium lighting

That looks irritated rather than gone

What should i do? Try changing positions or something else?

If parameters are stable then clown must be bothering it. Try separating them and see if that helps.

I agree with the posts above , goniporas are among to hardest core long term. Make sure you feed it , they tend to starve easily.

After changing positions, goniopora is reacting well but clowns are bothering... how to seperate them? I don't have any other tank

The clowns are trying to get the goniopora to host them, typical clown behavior. Not much you can do besides possibly adding a nem or removing one or the other.
