Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral

Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with an advanced care profile. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions Acropora corals require. Plan its position carefully and allow time for acclimation before moving it.

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 higher intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this SPS coral without sudden changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varying circulation helps keep water moving around the coral and avoids the stagnant conditions Acropora should not receive.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and turbulent flow, with room for future growth.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should not crowd it as the colony develops and water movement reaches its branches.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for nutritional support. Fine coral foods may 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, observe its response after placement, and make adjustments gradually in this advanced SPS care environment.

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