I recently got a yellow-pink Alveopora catalani from NW. It was fairly cheap and not in the best condition when I got it (I actually wasn't sure what species at first because the polyps looked like a mat.) I've read that they like lower intensity light and low-moderate flow, so I've positioned it accordingly in my tank. It's been three days, and starting yesterday I began to get good polyp extension. Have yet to see it "eat", though I did notice when I put baby brine shrimp in the tank, the polyps seemed to extend a little more than they had been. I am thinking about dosing iron manganese occasionally as well, but I haven't begun yet.

For those people who also have Alveopora in their tank and have had it thrive - what have you done? Or for that matter, if you've had it die, what did you do?
