Ummm by the looks of your sand, your tank must be quite new? Sorry I can't help with your exact specimen but you've come to the right area for help...

The green ones are hard to keep . Once taken from the reef they slowly die. I had one about four years ago it lived for about a year and a half . Some people have luck with them tho . Beautiful coral but very sentiseve to parameter changes good luck.

Goniporia longer term need proper food and water quality and you'll be fine, try feeding some powdered or liquid coral food there is lots out there,

Reef roids
gonipower
marine snow
anything for filter feeding type foods. i try to target feed mine every other day and it seems happy

also they need pretty good water and I've noticed low phosphates try that
