Alveopora spp. are a genus of large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their distinctive, soft, finger-like polyps that sway gracefully in aquarium currents. This premium cultured frag is carefully grown under controlled conditions to ensure health and vibrancy, making it an excellent addition to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light as it may cause bleaching or stress.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong currents can damage the delicate polyps, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position the frag in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the tank, preferably mid-level or lower, where it can extend its polyps without interference from neighbouring corals.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from aggressive or fast-growing corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth. Suitable for tanks with peaceful fish and invertebrates.
Feeding: While Alveopora spp. derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods can promote growth and polyp extension.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Adding this cultured Alveopora frag to your reef tank will introduce unique texture and movement, enhancing the natural beauty of your marine environment.
