      What is "good"

      And what is your phosphate at? That's probably the cause, and Goni's are know to be hard to keep, expert corals so they are finiky

      The Goniopora looks a little bleached, like it is not getting enough light perhaps?
      Are you feeding it? (What foods?)
      The tank appears to have some algae growing, so I suspect that the nitrates and phosphates are > "low".
      Do you clean the sand bed? Do you have a "clean-up crew?"
      The good news is that there is still plenty of life left in that coral. If you put some effort into figuring out what is not working you should be able to save it.

      Thank you for your reply Kris. I don't know which kind of food I have to feed it please give me your advice.

      test equipment for sure
      dose every day or every other day
      phytoplankton & zooplankton will help

      more lighting recommended
      all IMO
