I have an alveopora as well and my feeling on it is that it is not a difficult coral. It doesn't require target feeding and has been growing well. I've split my colony into 3 pieces with 1 in my main tank under halides and the other 2 in my nano under 18w of light. I'm not really sure why goniopora and alveopora are clumped together sometimes.
