Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral - Care Requirements
Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced care requirements. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to established reef aquariums where strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent maintenance can support its SPS care needs. Allow time for careful acclimation before settling it into its permanent reef position.
This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.
Quick Care Summary
-
Lighting: Strong reef lighting
-
Flow: Strong, random and turbulent flow
-
Placement: Middle to upper reef areas after acclimation
-
Temperament: Generally peaceful but space for growth
-
Care Level: Advanced
Lighting
Provide strong reef lighting after a gradual acclimation period. Avoid abrupt lighting changes, and keep intensity consistent once the coral has adjusted to its placement.
Flow
Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the branches from changing directions. Good circulation helps prevent detritus from settling while avoiding a constant one-direction blast.
Placement
Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly, choose an area with reliable light and turbulent flow, and make future growth room part of the placement decision.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but leave room for growth and avoid crowding nearby corals. Plan spacing around the frag so expanding branches have clear water movement and do not contact neighboring corals.
Feeding
Rely primarily on strong lighting for support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally, with restrained feeding and attention to overall nutrient stability.
General Care
Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, make changes gradually, and observe the coral regularly for its response to flow, light, and surrounding reef conditions.
Best kept in a stable, established reef with attentive SPS husbandry.
