Green Alveopora is a flowerpot coral with extended green polyps that provide color and gentle movement in a reef aquarium. Alveopora typically have 12 tentacles around each polyp, helping distinguish them from the closely related-looking Goniopora, which typically have 24.

Place this Alveopora where it receives moderate lighting and changing, indirect water flow that gently moves the polyps without continuously pushing them in one direction. Allow room for complete polyp extension and avoid placing it where neighboring corals can touch it.
