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 is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions required for 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 gradually to brighter exposure, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora’s care needs.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Position it where changing current reaches the branches without leaving low-flow or stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the specimen firmly and adjust placement gradually as it adapts to lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but planning room around neighboring corals helps prevent contact as the colony develops.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally as part of an established reef feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and watch for changes in appearance after any adjustment to placement, flow, lighting, or routine maintenance.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with attentive SPS care.
