Alveopora spp. are captivating large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their delicate, flower-like polyps and subtle movement in the aquarium. This Tank-Bred Ultra Frag is carefully cultured to ensure health and vibrancy, making it a superb addition to mature reef systems.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and polyp extension. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching or stress.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to facilitate nutrient exchange and prevent detritus accumulation without damaging the fragile polyps.
Placement: Position this frag in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, ensuring it has adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Placement on rockwork with some protection from strong currents is preferred.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced hobbyists will find success with this coral, as it requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Diet: While primarily photosynthetic, Alveopora spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds to promote growth and polyp health.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with more aggressive coral species.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is essential to support skeletal growth. Frag size may vary; this listing is for a single frag specimen.
