Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral

Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistency associated with SPS coral care.

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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Broad, changing circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without creating stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly where it receives strong light and variable flow.

Temperament

Give it room to grow. Acropora is generally peaceful, but leave adequate spacing from nearby corals to prevent contact as colonies develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally as part of a broader, stable reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, watch for changes in tissue response, and make adjustments gradually after the coral has acclimated.

Best maintained in a stable, established reef with attentive SPS care.
