Eric Borneman's book "Aquaium Corals" says this:
"Alvepora are considered similar in their care requirements and as difficult to maintain as Goniopora, and they are not likely to survive in most home aquariums. Low current and low to medium lighting, with, perhaps, a slightly higher nutrient content seem to fit their most common locations in nature." (pg 239)
Hopefully you'll have better luck with yours than others. Since it is a new coral, I would give it a couple of days to settle in.
