Any feedback/criticism is appreciated. Also the pink goni at the top got mauled by emerald crab and he hasn't opened up since (3 days), is he a goner or are there ways to revive him?
Any coral suggestions for my tank?

Great looking tank. I had a very smart lady tell me how to bring back a coral with a dip of brightwell revive along with amino acid and brightwell reef blizzard. Get the water moving so polyps are able to come into contact with the dip components and reef blizzard. Not a whirlpool just agitated. At least 15 minutes for the dip. Gonis are slow feeders. No need to rinse coral before going back in tank. All ingredients are fine for tank.
Your tank looks awesome, I wouldn’t change anything.
If you wanted to add something, consider some bright colored SPS on the top right side, such as neon green anacropora, for a pop of color.
I can cut you a frag if you want some.

I really enjoyed it. It’s very soothing. I like the aquascape. Looks very natural. I didn’t see a single fish. I think when you add enough fishes and with their movements, your tank will look better and grow better. Just go slow in adding fishes with cautions taken.

Add some neon stylophoras, cheap and grows like crazy. Maybe some torches too!
Agreed. It looks great as is anyways.
You could add one/a few of the tall, flowing soft corals along the back or in a corner, to add more depth and movement. Looks great though and you don’t need to change a thing unless you’re looking for a bit of change.
Regarding the goni - I had had a lot of success recovering them with target feedings of brightwell restore. I’ll target them every day or two until they come back to life and I’ve yet to have one die (although they have tried). I also add a bit of restore to my usual coral food which is a blend of phyto, ab+ and benereef, which I feed 1-2 times a week.

@CherylG I didn’t know you can target feed with restore?!? That a regular thing!?
Well (searched) it is recommended to be target feed. I was broadcast feeding on a roster which did nothing. Now I see why. lol. Still have quick bit left. I was just using it in conjunction with Brightwell replenish.

I have more than a liter left of this product. I’m going to dose it into LPS tank. Too lazy for target feeding (all my pumps stay on) but looking forward to the result since I need to use it up. I stopped using replenish once 2liter size ran out. And moved to isol8 mt. For cheaper route.
That was a very expensive lesson I learnt. I now have a QT setup and I am doing metroplex + focus for prophylactic treatment. I am scared to do copper because I do tend to get Wrasses which I read does not like copper
Depends on the wrasse, ive had 6 line, cleaner and Pintail Fairy all make it through copper

I recommend that you use copper. Copper Power is best. Those other medications won’t address ich and velvet, which seems to be what wiped your tank (velvet wiped my tank 7 years ago). The key with copper is to add slowly over several days until you build up to the therapeutic level. I have successfully taken the most sensitive of wrasses (Tamarin and Leopard) through therapeutic copper. Make sure they are happy and eating in QT before adding copper. And make sure you have adequate biofiltration and water movement.
