IME you need to remove one of the two tangs from your tank.

+1
Use a antibacterial product containing neomycin.

You need two of those very small size nets.

I have one. At the time I purchased it, it looked like 'pin-cushion' polyps as it was not extended.
Had I known it was a goniopora I would not have bought it as it is impossible to keep long term.
