Alveopora

Where they differ is the number of tentacles on each polyp. Alveopora have 12 tentacles on each polyp while Goniopora have 24. That is the quickest and easiest way to differentiate the two. Second, Alveopora may be a hardier specimen than Goniopora.

Cool. Thanks. I counted and there are 12 petals/tentacles.
