Alveopora spongiosa (Green) Tank-Bred Frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its delicate, finger-like polyps and vibrant green coloration. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy specimen suitable for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal for Alveopora spongiosa. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching; LED or T5 lighting systems with moderate PAR levels are recommended.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate, gentle water movement to mimic natural reef conditions. Excessive flow can cause polyp retraction and stress.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium, allowing adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. Alveopora spongiosa can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain a minimum of 5–7 cm clearance.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance will promote healthy growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or those with long sweeper tentacles.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to approximately 15 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
