Alveopora spp. (Green)

Alveopora Coral (Daisy Coral)

Alveopora corals, often called Daisy corals, are beautiful LPS corals known for their long, delicate polyps that sway gently in the water. They look similar to Goniopora but are a bit easier to care for, making them a great choice for reef keepers who love movement and color. Alveopora come in shades of green, cream, pink, and red, adding a soft, flowing look to any reef aquarium. With moderate lighting, gentle flow, and stable water conditions, they’ll thrive and bring a graceful, natural vibe to your tank.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Moderate (avoid very intense light, which can cause stress)
• Water Flow: Gentle to moderate; strong flow can damage their delicate polyps
• Placement: Middle to bottom of the tank; ensure enough space to avoid being stung or overgrown by other corals
• Feeding: While Alveopora are photosynthetic, they benefit from regular feeding with zooplankton or small meaty food like copepods.
