Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral

Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef keeping. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral suits established reef systems prepared for strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent water chemistry. Its care needs center on steady conditions rather than frequent adjustments.

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 SPS coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without creating persistently one-directional stress.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and broad, changing water movement.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but leaving room from neighboring corals helps prevent contact as branches develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Avoid overfeeding and keep nutrient conditions stable.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. This advanced-care SPS coral responds best to consistency; observe polyp condition and coloration, and avoid rapid parameter corrections or sudden changes in flow and light.

Best kept in a stable, mature reef with consistent maintenance.
