Often called a Flowerpot Coral, Alveopora is known for its long, flowing polyps that extend from the skeleton and sway gently in the current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"662\"\u003eThis rainbow variety displays a mix of colours across the polyp heads, often showing tones of green, pink, yellow, or soft contrasting tips under quality reef lighting. When healthy and fully extended, Rainbow Alveopora creates a soft, flower-like appearance that makes it a stunning addition to LPS gardens, mixed reef tanks, and lower aquascape areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"952\"\u003eAlveopora are related to Goniopora but are generally identified by their 12-tentacled polyps, compared with the 24 tentacles commonly seen on Goniopora. They can be rewarding corals to keep, but they do best in mature, stable reef aquariums where feeding and water quality are consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"998\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"998\"\u003eWhy Choose a Rainbow Alveopora Fragment?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ariswy\" data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003eBeautiful flower-like polyps with soft, flowing movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"us9xl\" data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eRainbow colouration that stands out under reef lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ao4yn9\" data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003eGreat choice for lower rockwork or sandbed placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"joycf2\" data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003eAdds movement without the aggressive sting of many other LPS corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1yadkou\" data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1316\"\u003eExcellent coral for mixed reef tanks and LPS-focused aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14k6ka6\" data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003eA rewarding option for reef keepers wanting something eye-catching and different\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1424\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1424\"\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1699\"\u003eRainbow Alveopora prefer low to moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 75–150 being suitable for most reef aquariums. Avoid placing the coral directly under intense lighting too quickly, especially when newly added, as this can cause stress and poor polyp extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1701\" data-end=\"1921\"\u003eWater flow should be gentle to moderate and indirect. The polyps should move softly in the current without being blasted or whipped around. If the flow is too strong, Alveopora may stay closed or fail to extend properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1923\" data-end=\"2201\"\u003eWhile Alveopora are photosynthetic, regular feeding is strongly recommended. Offer small particle coral foods, phytoplankton, amino acids, or suitable powdered coral foods several times per week. Consistent feeding can help support polyp extension, colour, and long-term health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2235\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2235\"\u003eRecommended Water Parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2376\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rl62wm\" data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2261\"\u003eCalcium: 420–440 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"e6d0lr\" data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003eAlkalinity: 8–9 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"93gjyh\" data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2314\"\u003eMagnesium: 1300–1400 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1nlgg3d\" data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003eNitrate: low but detectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nh28h0\" data-start=\"2347\" data-end=\"2376\"\u003ePhosphate: low but stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2407\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2407\"\u003ePlacement \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2640\"\u003eRainbow Alveopora should be placed on the sandbed or lower rockwork where it receives gentle flow and moderate light.
