    The truth on Alevopora (not zeo related..)

    This coral is one that I am not sure about. Is it hardy? Is it impossible to keep? Or is it moderately hardy(as in it wont die for no reason).

    I have seen lots of these corals in pictures and in person, and it ALWAYS seems like the bottom half is dead, and the top half is alive and healthy, but sometimes not...

    I need info from the hobbyist on this coral...as I cant seem to find consistant information elsewhere.

    If you own this type of coral, PLEASE post pics if you have any, and tell some about how long you have had the coral, etc.

    I want to keep this type of coral in my 40 gallon aquarium when it is ready for corals mabe at the end of this coming summer after I get live rock...

    So, lets see some information!!! :yesway:

          low to moderate light. low flow.. I've had one for six months and have tried all light levels and flow levels.

            I have two now, it was one but after I dropped a piece of LR on it that's when it became two.
            It's been in my care for a little over two years and is growing slowly. It prefers low flow and medium light. Intense lighting will keep it from expanding much and it will have a bleached appearance. Presently I have the larger pieic towards the end of the tank and the side closer to the light is much lighter than the shaded side. Same extension on either side.
