There are many instances of clowns hosting different corals and then irritating them causing stress and disease. The only thing I can recommend is to get rid of one or the other. If you could update your "my info" section we could maybe make a better recommendation.

One of the LFSs that I go to had this amazing plate coral that was destroyed by a maroon clown....clowns will host strange things sometimes and when it is a delicate coral like the gonipora I would tend to agree with Mike...one or the other will have to go or something is going to have to be done to keep the clown away from it.

If you are going to let he gonipora go...I would take it back to the LFS and get some credit towards something else.
