Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Cherry Bomb Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef keepers. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral is suited to established reef systems able to provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions associated with SPS coral care.

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 the coral gradually to its final intensity to help it adjust without abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep water moving across the coral and avoids low-flow or stagnant areas.

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 room for future growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as the colony develops.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally as part of a balanced reef feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe the coral regularly as it acclimates to its position and system conditions.

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