Toxic Lime Green Alveopora
Toxic Lime Green Alveopora is about as vivid as this genus gets — bright, saturated green flower-like polyps densely packed across long stalks, waving together in flow like a field of tiny green stars. It’s a genuinely striking piece when fully open, and the sheer density of polyps on display here makes it a strong focal point.
As with its close relative Goniopora, Alveopora has a real reputation in the hobby for being harder to keep long-term than most LPS, and this is a medium-to-advanced coral rather than a beginner one — worth knowing before adding it to a newer setup.
Care basics
- Care level: Medium to advanced. Not recommended as a first LPS coral.
- Lighting: Medium.
- Flow: Low to moderate, random rather than direct.
- Water chemistry: Sensitive to sudden changes, particularly in phosphate levels. Stable, gradually-adjusted parameters matter more than with most corals. Trace additions of molybdenum and manganese can help growth, though aren’t essential.
- Feeding: Planktivorous — benefits from regular feeding of rotifers or similarly fine planktonic foods, unlike most LPS which can go without.
Supplied as rested frags on 2cm plugs.
