Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acropora frag is suited to established reef systems prepared for advanced SPS care. Its success depends on strong lighting, turbulent water movement, and consistently stable conditions.

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 careful acclimation period. Increase exposure gradually so the coral can adjust without sudden changes in intensity.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that keeps water moving around the branches. Avoid stagnant areas where detritus can settle.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow room for its future growth.

Temperament

This Acropora is generally peaceful, but leave space between it and neighboring corals. Planning room for growth helps prevent unwanted contact as the colony develops.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally as part of a consistent reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe polyp extension and overall appearance after any system adjustment. Advanced care is best supported by an established, consistent reef aquarium.

Consistency and careful acclimation are central to long-term Acropora care.
