Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Alveopora allingi are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Alveopora allingi, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Alveopora allingi, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Colour: Usually yellow, green or brown with white oral cones.

Habitat: Protected reef environments.

Abundance: Usually uncommon.

Husbandry know-how of owners

Wir haben vor ca. sechs Monaten einen Schwamm (Spidersponge) erstanden und dieser war mit der Koralle verwachsen. Leider hielt sich der Schwamm nicht sonderlich gut (er war wohl transportgeschädigt) und ging ein. Sie allerdings lebt noch immer! Die Koralle steht im unteren Bereich des Beckens (im Licht, nicht schattig!) bei turbulenter wechselnder (aber nicht direkter) Strömung! Futtertechnich ist sie nicht sonderlich wählerisch! Grundsätzlich mampft sie Plankton jeglicher Art und fängt sich sogar das eine oder andere Mal etwas Flockenfutter! Sie wächst und gedeiht und wird von Tag zu Tag schöner! Wenn man ein wenig auf sie schaut - will sagen sie beobachtet ob ihr das Plätzchen was man für sie gewählt hat gefällt, ein dankbares und haltbares Wesen!
