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 advanced care requirements. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral is suited to established reef systems that can provide strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistently stable conditions. Its care needs align with other advanced SPS corals, making deliberate placement and acclimation important.

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 after a gradual acclimation period. Consistent intensity is important for Acropora, so avoid abrupt lighting changes once the coral is placed.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent water flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled debris while avoiding a constant, one-directional blast.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and choose a position that receives strong light and broad, turbulent flow.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it for future growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as branches develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Feed sparingly and observe the system’s nutrient stability.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and monitor its response after any changes to flow, lighting, or system maintenance. This advanced SPS coral benefits from a mature, consistently managed reef aquarium.

Best maintained in a stable reef with strong light and turbulent circulation.
