Alveopora spp. are a genus of large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their delicate, flower-like polyps and unique texture. This Extra Extra Large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement is ideal to ensure adequate gas exchange and prevent detritus accumulation without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the tank, allowing space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure optimal polyp extension.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to lighting and flow conditions.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging or overgrowth interactions with other corals.
Additional Notes: Origin and exact maximum size are not provided; however, conservative husbandry practices are advised. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote longevity and vibrant health.
