The Alveopora spp. (Green) is a captivating large LPS coral belonging to the Poritidae family, prized for its delicate, flower-like polyps and vibrant green hues. This coral adds both texture and colour to mature reef aquariums, making it a desirable choice for experienced marine hobbyists.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support healthy growth and vibrant coloration. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to gently sway the polyps without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong currents that may stress the coral.
Placement: Position the coral in a stable location with adequate space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Alveopora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive species. Mid to lower tank levels are generally suitable.
Care Level: Moderate care is advised, with stable water parameters and regular monitoring. This coral benefits from consistent water quality and occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific nutrition.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This species is generally reef safe but requires careful placement to avoid coral warfare.
Additional Notes: Origin and maximum size are not provided due to species variation within the genus. Minimum tank size recommendations are conservative; a mature reef system of at least 100 litres is advisable to maintain stable conditions.
