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 Acro is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the strong lighting, turbulent flow, and consistent conditions Acropora corals require. Plan its location carefully and allow time for acclimation before making adjustments.

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 intensity changes, then maintain a consistent lighting routine to support this SPS coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied movement helps keep water circulating around the coral; avoid low-flow or stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the specimen firmly and choose a position with reliable light and broad, changing flow.

Temperament

Allow room for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but adequate spacing helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as branches develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support. Fine coral foods can 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, observe response after any change, and make adjustments gradually rather than changing several conditions at once.

Best maintained by experienced reef keepers focused on stable, consistent husbandry.
