I have before on some zoas and soft corals with algae issues. Killed the algae, corals were pretty shocked
You're recoverd already?
Compared to the rest of the summer this was a drop in the bucket. New transmission, pool pump and ER visits for 2 kids

Colorful. Are those dragon lashes still doing good for you? Just wondering if they will extend more
If you don’t want to dip you could take a eye dropper or small paint brush and apply 3% h202 directly to the algae. Hold the frag so the droplets fall downwards and away from the coral.

Peroxide dipping guidelines (for corals)
A while back Justin Credabel published this chart detailing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide appropriate for dipping various genera of corals. I've used these guidelines myself a few times to remove algae from coral frags and it's been quite effective. Justin Credabel's hydrogen...

Coral can be dipped longer in a lower concentrate solution. ? concentrate for up to 20 minutes for deep, persistent algae or bacterial infections, or necrotic areas.
I have found the formula to be on the conservative side. Or my h202 is expiring and not as potent as a new bottle. Not sure if it breaks down over time
You should start to see micro bubbles forming on the algae after a few minutes. If you dont, you need more h2o2.
I just dipped a Goni and needed to almost double the recommended amount. My algae strain was either highly resistant, or my h2o2 is old.
Sign the dosage is right -
Takes about a minute or two for bubbles to initially develop on algae + if you blow the bubbles away they should reform in a few seconds.

Those puppies are reaching out for sure. The lashes kind of block the view of the baseThis is my dragon lashes this morning. It extends roughly .5-.75” for me
Yes the lashes definitely block the view. The first pic shows a gap from the flow changing and you can see the stalk. It’s a very fluffy Goni compared to most others I have
Very interesting species with lots of variation. I wish I started collecting these 2 years ago
How’s yours looking ? Do you have any pics?

For those of you that haven’t stumbled on my thread, you might want to take a look. This death circle started just a couple of weeks age. Consensus seems to be zeroing in on the new flatworm variant. Scary.

That alve is stunning! Are those asian acans? Very vivid colors. I have old school acans, ones that turned orange after some time. Can't wait to see updated pics along the way.

How is it going

Trying to find someone with a good microscope. Need a closer inspection on whatever it is. Thinking I will just take the entire top rock out and trash it. The death is spreading fast enough each day that I can see it. HomeWrecker and PC Rainbow are on that rock so will try to save them. Cut them off, dip them good and put them on a rack. The entire rock is going down fast.
Good thing it's 5 pages of pontification When the answer has been on the first page, the whole time

Lot of suggestions to use a baster and keep hitting all the Acro to blow them off. I’m thinking before I do that, I want to get rid of that top rock. Right now, the death circle is confined to that one rock. If I start blowing them everywhere they can land on all the other corals. If they are happy on that rock, I want to keep them there and not spread them around.
