Alveopora

Alveopora (family Acroporidae) is a genus of large-polyp stony corals inhabiting shallow and turbid reef zones of the Indo-Pacific. Colonies produce numerous elongated polyps with 12 tentacles each that extend dramatically and sway in the current, creating an effect reminiscent of an anemone garden. Alveopora is frequently confused with Goniopora, but the tentacle count distinguishes them clearly (12 vs. 24). Colors include green, brown, pink, orange, and white. Care is somewhat more forgiving than Goniopora: moderate lighting (100–200 PAR) and gentle to moderate flow are sufficient. Stable parameters (24–27°C, KH 8–10, Ca 400–430 ppm) are important. Regular feeding with copepods, rotifers, or fine particulate foods is essential for long-term health and color maintenance. Delicate extended tentacles must be protected from strong direct flow and physical disturbance. Gradual water changes help avoid the parameter swings this species finds stressful.
