Alveopora viridis is a species of stony coral that has a highly disjunct range, and can be found in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the northern Indian Ocean and in Palau and the Mariana Islands.

[2] It obtains most of its nutritional needs from the symbiotic dinoflagellates that live inside its soft tissues.

The remaining needs of the colony are met from the assimilation of planktonic organisms caught by the tentacles of the polyps.

The main threats faced by corals are related to climate change; the mechanical destruction of their coral reef habitats, increasing damage from extreme weather events, rising sea water temperatures and ocean acidification.

Alveopora viridis has a wide range but has a number of separate subpopulations and is generally uncommon.
