Goniopora infection?

[CocoReef]

Just picked this goni up from my lfs 2 weeks ago and it had no issues when it was first introduced. Has been healthy up until I noticed this patch of white flesh earlier today. Possible infection?

Following. Was about to post about my Goni closed up. Been 6months thriving and has shut for the last 3 days now. Not sure what the heck happened

The one next to it looks good!

Goni is just weird. I have 14 of various sizes and out of all them there is one that did the same thing. Months it was fully extended..maybe 1.5-2” tentacles. Then it stopped extending but had polyps open like yours for almost 2 months. Now it’s back to extending daily but it’s about 1” long tentacles.

The other 13 Goni in the tank unaffected. I do notice they are very sensitive. If I move one it can be weeks before opening back to normal size. For all you know a hermit crab could have walked in it and now it’s just scared/pizzed off and needs time to feel comfortable again

That’s what I’m hoping as well. The closed one was double the size of the one next to it so it caught me by surprise. Yesterday I did lift him from the base to make sure nothing got under it to bother him but he was clean. Crossing my fingers he’s just being a bit of a butthole right now lol

Need brighter lighting. Cant tell if this is tissue or Mesenterial filaments. These guys need moderate light, flow looks good but also addition of aminos and occasional addition of Manganese and feeding very important. Reef roids and even liquids such as Polyp lab extender is sufficient

Ill move it up a little higher and see if anything changes. I just cut back on feeding reef roids and phyto to try to combat some hair algae so that very well may be the issue. Thanks!

Still not sure what the tissue was but giving it more flow seemed to do the trick. That tissue patch died off but the rest of the goni is doing much better in the new spot
