The Alveopora Frag forms branching colonies with polyps with 12 tentacles. It is fairly delicate and may do well in a fairly nutrient rich reef tank. The Alveopora Frag does not need intense lighting but moderate, along with moderate water motion to maintain their natural habitat conditions. It thrives well in a temperature range of 78 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The Alveopora Frag is not that aggressive in nature and hence does well with other tank mates. It is photosynthetic in nature and manufactures its own food using light energy, and will not take offered food. Instead, the Alveopora Frag benefits from nutrient rich water, hence additional nutrients need to be added in the water to maintain that high nutrient level in the aquarium. Maintaining correct calcium and alkalinity levels is undoubtedly important for skeletal development. This coral resembles a pot of flowers and therefore also named as the same, flower pot. Whenever clownfish doesn?t get the anemone as a host, it takes refuge in the tentacle polyps of the Alveopora. Actinic lighting is recommended for the aquarium hosting the Alveopora coral. It is very difficult to maintain and is receommended for advanced aquarists only. The Alveopora may sting other corals if it comes in contact with them, therefore keeping the corals at a distant is advised. Also, the species or corals which thrive in limited nutrient level should not be kept along the Alveopora Frag, since it needs nutrient rich water for its survival.
