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 coral is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions required for SPS 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 avoid abrupt light changes, then maintain consistent intensity as part of a stable Acropora environment.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled material without relying on stagnant or low-flow areas.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and turbulent flow, allowing room for future growth.

Temperament

Allow space for growth around neighboring corals. Acropora is generally peaceful, but thoughtful spacing helps prevent contact as branches develop in the reef structure.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally, while keeping feeding practices consistent with overall nutrient stability.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, observe response after changes, and make adjustments gradually in this advanced-care SPS system.

Best kept in a stable, established reef with attentive Acropora care.
