11.15....Need help with this...my goniastrea coral isn't growing. Since I've added it to my tank, only one new head(?)/pocket(?) area has grown and in about eight months that doesn't seem right. Is this some sort of harmful work growing on it? It sorta looks like a feather-duster...could this be stopping growth?

That's a feather duster, but I'm only skilled in the zoas let's see if someone from #reefsquad, can help or call in someone that knows what may be going on!

11.20 update: Really excited! In just two days I'm noticing a cleaner tank and colors popping! I removed most of the filter sponge and all of the ceramic bioballs. Did two smaller water changes and things look great...clown is a happy little camera hog! Also added a new hammer!

12.2.16: coming up on two weeks without sponge/bio balls. Just running a bag of chemipure elite and gotta say I'm a believer- I think the media was leeching phosphates. My tank now, hasn't looked better!
