Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral

Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef care. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions Acropora corals require.

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 avoid sudden changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the specimen firmly and adjust its position gradually as it adapts to light and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing it from neighboring corals supports good circulation and prevents future contact as colonies develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support, with optional fine coral foods offered when appropriate for the established system.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, observe polyp condition and tissue response, and make any placement or husbandry changes gradually.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with attentive husbandry.
