The clownfish will probably kill the goniopora. They are very sensitive to other critters touching them and usually retract. However, if the goniopora isn't retracting, I don't think there is a problem.
Make sure you research goniopora/flowerpots corals. They are a VERY demanding coral and most people have no luck at all with them. My advice is that you dose phyto pretty liberally 3 times a week and feed them VERY finely chopped, meaty foods. If you can chop the meaty food another time, then it is too big.

My tomato clown made his home in my goniopora. It never retracts and he doesn't burrow or rub it to death like my other clown does his anemone. So far so good.

sorry, but why do people have to call them nemos?? :notsure: it does bug the heck out of me. i mean come on, if you are going to keep them you should at least know what they really are. and everyone here does know their real name....
not trying to be mean, believe me! but i have an ocellaris, his name is herbie. one of my friends loves to call him nemo just cuz she knows i don't like it.
so really, i don't mean to sound mean if i do. i promise. lol.
