Alveopora Coral
| Latin Name | Alveopora sp. | ||||||||||||||||
| Common Name | Alveopora Coral | ||||||||||||||||
| Also known as | Alveopora | ||||||||||||||||
| Fast Facts | Unlike Gonipora, which is one of the most frequently available corals to the trade, the closely related Alveopora is seldom seen. These corals are never plentiful, order fast when available! Although it looks superficially similar to Gonipora,, Alveopora is easier to maintain in the aquarium. Collected colonies are generally more elongated than the typically ball shaped Goniopora. These corals can expand and contract tremendously. Size will vary from smaller when you receive them, to larger after they have adjusted to your aquarium for a period of weeks. Like most Large Polyp Stony Corals, their tissue is very thin. It requires outstanding water conditions and may benefit from addition of trace elements. It requires medium to bright, indirect light and generally expands best in low to medium water flow. In nature it is typically found in turbid, shallow waters. |
