Need help with recently purchased Goni

[sponger0]

I normally dont have a problem with keep any corals unless it's xenia. Its just melts away. I have zoas, acros and anything inbetween. So I felt pretty confident on keeping a red goni. Well I got it last weekend. I couldnt resist. Even though I told myself not to lol.

Well some of the flesh is receding and you can see some of the skeleton. The first few days it looked fine. I feed my tank pretty well with my fish and feed oyster feast for my corals every 2-3 days.

Tank parameters as such:
AM/NI/NA - 0
Alk sits between 9.1-9.5
Mag 1420
Calc 475
Phos 0.9

Its in a Biocube 14 and on the sand. Only 2 fish.

Im hoping to keep it from completely dying. Any advice?

Here is a pic last night after moving it from touching any other corals. Thats why its closed up. But you can see the receded flesh and skeleton. But the polyps do come out normally.

Did it get stung by anything? I know when I had a green one (for a short period of time, I swapped it) I fed cyclopeeze, and it needed plenty of room to expand. Then my clowns started harassing it, so it had to go. Good luck, I hope it can recover.

Nothing has touched it. I moved it just in case also. I called the guy at the store I bought it from. This isnt your regular store either. This guy knows his stuff and its a saltwater only store.

He said everything sounds fine and to try feeding rodifiers or cyclopeeze. So Im gonna try that tonight.

Also one thing I for got to mention is that I had a powerhead in there but cut it off. Cause some of my LPS were getting to much flow. So Im wondering if this is an issue. I stopped off at home for lunch and some of the polyps were even coming out of the holes were the tissue seemed to be recessed. So Im hopeful. Just need to watch it carefully.
