How do you do a hydrogen peroxide dip?

[Sean Clark]

It's interesting reading some old comments from 10 years ago About this topic and seeing how much has changed since then. I still don't recommend for any person to just start throwing corals in hydrogen peroxide but I think there is some benefits and advantages.

I have always been the bad guy that tells people to use H2O2 and gets condemned for even suggesting it.

No it was 100% 100% Hydrogen peroxide Of course 3% lol but what I meant is I did not use any other liquid with it

I knew what you meant, just clarifying for everyone. 37% is readily available and I would hate to see someone do something silly.

A lot has changed but one thing ist still the same after 10 years of peroxide dipping: the average reefer still thinks 3% peroxide is 100% and can't figure out the percentages after dilution even if his life depended in it.

Btw every zoa frag i had dippped in peroxide came out worse than before. I wouldn't dip whole corals anymore.

I have a zoa frag plug that came with some unwanted xenia. The xenia is completely intermingled with the zoa heads and i cant get rid of it just trying to pluck out with tweezers.

Now the xenia is start to overtake the zoas. Someone recommended i do an h2o2 bath right after attempting to remove the xenia with tweezers or scissors. Do you guys think that will work?

Try it. Let us know

Tried the h2o2 bath, didn’t work to get the Xenia off. Attempting to remove them with tweezers also seemed futile.

I basically just gave up and put the plug on its own in the sand for now so the Xenia won’t spread over the rocks.

Mix some kalkawasser with water and make a thick paste, pull the frag and put the kalk paste anywhere you want to remove tissue. Let it sit a few minutes then rinse well and return to the tank.

The problem is there is Xenia completely intermingled inbetween all the zoa heads that I would like to keep. Unless there is a way to target only the Xenia and leave the zoas unharmed I think I am just stuck

Gotcha, yeah that’s a pain then.
