I've had this plate coral for a month and for the last 10 days one of my tomato clowns started hosting in it now today it looks like this is it a goner?

Still has a lot of tissue, definitely not a goner. But you would have to remove the clown or find a way to stop the clown from hosting it.

Maybe cut the top of a 2L bottle, put some holes in it for flow and place it over the coral so it can recover. Thats of course if you don’t have another tank to to move either the coral or clown into. Unless there is a chance it will accept the clown. But I never had a clown host a plate coral.

If the plate coral does "die" leave it in there, there seems to be a ton of info that it will sprout babies, but it may take a couple months
