Got this small goniopora frag from LFS l. Dipped and acclimated it and put it on the end of my 20G long when theres not too much light or flow. It has looked like this since i got it. Im just scared if its showing signs of bleaching. Ill attach a pic of what it looked like in lfs and what it looks like now.

Doesn’t look like its bleaching. Have you tried feeding it ?

Yes i feed reef roid and marine snow also phytoplankton. I also check it late at night to see if polyps are extended and nothing so far. Tried feeding a little at night and nothings helping.

From what I’ve heard they often prefer dirtier water, having nitrates and small phosphate. This should also keep you away from Dino’s in the future.

Mine are closed up as well, I noticed I was also sitting on 0 nitrate and I’m dosing to get it up, they are opening more for me anyways
