Alveopora Coral: Irish Charm’s Gentle Sway

Bring the serene beauty of the Indo-Pacific to your reef aquarium with the captivating Alveopora Coral, the “Irish Charm.”

Overview

The Alveopora coral, often called Daisy or Flowerpot coral, displays a mesmerizing flower-like appearance with long, delicate polyps that gently sway with the water current. Its typically green coloration, reminiscent of an Irish charm, adds a unique and tranquil element to any reefscape. These LPS corals are known for their unique structure and are a popular choice for aquarists seeking movement and visual interest in their aquariums.

Care Level

Caring for Alveopora corals is considered moderate. While hardier than their Goniopora cousins, they require stable water parameters and careful placement to thrive. They are generally peaceful, making them compatible with many reef-safe fish and invertebrates.

Tank Essentials

Alveopora corals require a minimum tank size of [data unavailable] litres. They thrive in stable water conditions with a pH range of 8.1–8.4, salinity of 1.024–1.026, and alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels consistently maintained. Moderate lighting (80–150 PAR) and gentle, indirect water flow are crucial to prevent polyp damage.

Diet

While photosynthetic, Alveopora corals benefit greatly from supplemental feeding. Offer them fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton, mysis shrimp, or specialized coral foods 1–3 times per week to encourage optimal health and vibrant coloration.
