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 SPS coral is suited to established reef systems able to provide strong lighting, turbulent water movement, and highly consistent conditions. Its specific appearance is represented by the individual specimen offered.

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 to help this Acropora adjust without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied movement helps keep water circulating around the coral and avoids low-flow or stagnant placement.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag well and make placement changes gradually as it adjusts to light and flow.

Temperament

This coral is generally peaceful, but leave room for growth. Plan adequate spacing from neighboring corals so branches have space as the colony develops.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally, while avoiding sudden changes to the system’s nutrient balance.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. This advanced-care Acropora benefits from regular observation and deliberate adjustments rather than rapid parameter corrections or frequent environmental changes.

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