Alveopora spp. (Ultra) is a small-sized large polyp stony (LPS) coral belonging to the Poritidae family. Known for its delicate, flower-like polyps and subtle colouration, this coral adds a unique texture and movement to reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy growth and vibrant colours. Avoid intense direct light as it may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure the polyps can extend fully without damage. Strong currents may stress the coral.
Placement: Position Alveopora spp. in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, ensuring it has adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. This coral is best placed on rockwork where it can expand freely.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Alveopora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and requires careful placement.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; typically small to medium colony size in captivity.
Minimum Tank Size: Not Provided; recommended for tanks 75 litres and above to ensure stable water parameters.
