Troubleshooting issues with short polyp, encrusting goniopora

[dtruitt]

I picked this short polyp encrusting goniopora (unknown species) a few weeks ago when I started to see improvement in what I believe to be a Stokesi that the LFS owner thought was a goner and gave to me for free.

It is getting around 150 PAR and moderate to strong turbulent flow.

The stokesi I'm rehabilitating has been thriving with similar light and heavy, slightly more laminar flow.

We are out of roids and goniopower for a few more days.

This particular frag is starting to look a little bleached with poor PE in some areas.

I have another frag of the same coral on the sandbed, about 100 PAR and moderate laminar flow. This frag is also looking a bit sorry.

I'm increasing peak lighting intensity by 5% a week the past few weeks.

Would it be worth the risk to move the coral, or should I hang tight until I can feed a few more times before handling the frag?

Bump for attention.

Any pics available to help?

Thanks. Photo is attached.

I'm not sweating this one too much, just wanted to get some thoughts before I move a stressed out frag where I think it wants to go. About to run out and grab food now.

Some people say goni's are cake to keep, but i know a lot of reefers that simply cant keep them alive in their systems. For whatever reason. Finicky coral they are.
