Alveopora [Alveopora]

Description

Alveopora is a genus of stony corals in the family Poritidae, primarily found in shallow tropical reefs. Corals in this genus are characterized by their porous skeleton, which appears as a network of tiny holes or alveoli. These corals exhibit a variety of growth forms, including branching, encrusting, and massive structures. Alveopora species are known for their extended polyps, which give the colonies a fuzzy appearance when fully expanded.
