Alveopora spp. (frag) | FRAG

Alveopora spp. are a genus of large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their delicate, flower-like polyps and vibrant colours. This listing features a tank-bred frag grown under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and acclimatised specimen for your marine aquarium.

Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, suitable for hobbyists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a balanced spectrum. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement is preferred to mimic natural reef conditions, helping to keep the coral clean and healthy without damaging its delicate polyps.

Placement: Position the frag in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or stinging.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Alveopora spp. are generally reef safe but may extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain a respectful distance from other corals.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefit from supplemental feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds.

Additional Notes: As this listing is for Alveopora spp. at the genus level, specific origin and maximum size details are not provided. Conservative husbandry practices are advised to ensure long-term health.
