Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral

Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef keepers. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and day-to-day consistency required by SPS corals.

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 and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Consistent lighting helps avoid unnecessary stress from abrupt changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the branches from changing directions. Avoid low-flow areas where debris can settle.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow it to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave room for growth and avoid crowding nearby corals. Plan its position so expanding branches have adequate space.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally, with careful attention to overall nutrient stability.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, monitor its response after changes, and make adjustments gradually in this advanced-care SPS system.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with deliberate placement and consistent husbandry.
