Green and Brown Acropora is going to die...

[ChrisMan123]

My clown goby has just found out that he likes to lay at the base and even on top of my Brown and Green Acropora and he brushes against it sometimes even bangs himself into it... the acropora won't open up much anymore and is getting some white flesh spots on his tips and 1 spot at his base where the goby lays...

I also heard clown gobies will sometimes nip at the polyps... I don't know what to do... i have a 10g tank and I don't want to lose the acropora or the fish... i could move the acropora but the fish might just follow it... and i dont really have any other place to put the acropora in this tank and im sure the goby will find it again... i can move the acropora into another tank in the house but i don't think i'll be able to keep it in this tank if the goby continues this behavior...

any ideas on what to do?

thanks
