Overview: Alveopora spp. (Ultra) Medium is a visually striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral belonging to the Poritidae family. Known for its delicate polyps and unique growth forms, this coral adds texture and colour to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching or stress.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without damaging the fragile polyps.
Placement: Position Alveopora spp. in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, ensuring it has sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and tissue damage.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Alveopora spp. benefits from supplemental feeding with planktonic foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds to support growth and polyp extension.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: This coral is reef safe with adequate spacing. It is generally peaceful but should be placed away from aggressive corals to avoid competition.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Additional Notes: Origin and maximum size are not precisely defined due to species variability within the genus. Best suited for established marine aquariums with stable conditions.
