is it under the stock lighting? what kind of lighting was it under from where you bought it? hows your flow? mine always likes a gentle flow. Is anything within 'reach' to annoy it?
Sometimes corals dont like pristine water. Let your trates climb a little maybe? Goniopora thrive in a nutrient abundant environment where they can eat TINY foods like phyto etc. Do you ever try cyclops or some sort of zoplan or something?
Post some more info about its environment
Is it receeding? or just not opening?
Does it open at night? sometimes they do that too...
