{"product_id":"teal-alveopora-coral","title":"Teal Alveopora Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlveopora corals are a popular LPS species, valued for their long, flowing polyps and peaceful nature. They are often called Daisy Corals due to their distinctive flower-like appearance. This specific specimen will bring a vibrant teal hue to your reef system. This hardy coral is a good choice for both new and experienced reef keepers looking for dynamic movement and colour. This piece measures approximately 10cm. They generally form a encrusting or mounding base with a solid skeleton covered by a thick fleshy polyp extension. The individual polyps are long and delicate, swaying gracefully in the current, and each polyp typically has 12 tentacles, though some can have up to 18. This specimen presents a striking teal coloration, creating a soft, ethereal appearance in the aquarium. For optimal health, Alveopora corals thrive under moderate lighting, ideally between 75-150 PAR. They appreciate moderate, indirect water flow to keep detritus from settling on their polyps while allowing for gentle swaying. Placement on the sand bed or in a lower to mid-level rock crevice is generally suitable. While their primary energy source comes from photosynthesis, they benefit from occasional feeding of very fine particulate foods such as zooplankton or coral-specific foods. Maintain stable water parameters with calcium levels between 400-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and magnesium between 1300-1400 ppm. Alveopora are generally peaceful corals, but ensure adequate spacing to prevent stinging from more aggressive neighbours. A slow acclimation process is always recommended.\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":50224941367351,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-U8KF","price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/c71449d6-7bcd-4293-ae7f-03b4660efd52-_MG_5209.png?v=1790280569","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/teal-alveopora-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
