Any long term success with Alveopora?

Hi! I plan on getting one to complement my lagoon-type setting. Before I get one, I would like some opinion on this coral. Is it a coral that would thrive for long in an enclosed system?

Beautiful but notoriously high failure rate. I picked up a $10 frag, and that's all I'm willing to spend on a coral that may not live past a year. Not as bad as goniapora, but close from what I read.

Flower Pot is very difficult to keep. I tried keeping one in my 120/g well established tank but it didn't make it past 8/months. I would never put one of these in my nano. IMO, don't put something like that in a new 10/g tank.

The ones I see at the pet shop look so healthy. They look so full. It's so tempting to buy one (they're relatively cheap) but they look so delicate.

Alveopora has a much higher survival rate in captivity than goner-pora (as a fellow reefer put it). Do a good search on it and you will find some more info...
