This genus adds a dynamic and delicate texture to a reef aquarium, swaying gently with water movement and offering a distinctly floral appearance that stands out in a mixed reef. This particular specimen presents a beautiful pink colouration, making it a vibrant addition. This piece measures approximately 8cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlveopora polyps extend considerably from their skeletal base, resembling a cluster of flowers. Each polyp has 12 tentacles, a key distinguishing feature from its close relative, Goniopora, which has 24. This specific coral displays striking pink polyps with subtle teal highlights in the oral disc, creating a captivating contrast. The polyps are often fully extended during the day, creating a soft, ethereal mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlveopora corals thrive under moderate lighting, ideally between 75-150 PAR. They appreciate moderate, indirect water flow that allows their polyps to extend fully and gently sway without being blasted directly. Place this coral in the mid-to-upper levels of your rockwork, ensuring it has ample space for polyp extension. While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with fine-particulate foods like marine snow or zooplankton a few times a week can enhance growth and vibrancy. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity 8-10 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Alveopora is a peaceful coral; ensure it has enough space so its polyps do not sting neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlveopora's open, flowing structure provides excellent visual depth and movement in a reef tank. Its vibrant pink hue can serve as a focal point among bluer or greener corals, creating a balanced and visually interesting display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224957620279,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-AGHP","price":299.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/77cf991c-ae95-489c-880b-783a055f8a1f-_MG_5054.png?v=1790283178","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/pink-teal-alveopora-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
