Zoa question

[TodaysTrolling]

Noticed this on my zoa frag I got from my lfs a few weeks back can anyone tell me what the deal is? Also, I know the tank needs to be cleaned. Was falloff from the rocks when I moved them. And I couldn’t do a WC till I got some salinity regeant for my Hannah since it started acting buggy as far as the salinity went. Will be cleaning up this weekend.

Pic a little blue and fuzzy
I see bryopsis algae and possibly hydroids but again fuzzy images
Bryopsis, pull off by hand and you can add liquid vibrant to finish it off but dose at 80%

nasty algae, I dont know what the name is but that stuff is tough as nails. Pick off whatever you can then dip and brush in H2O2 to kill the follicles.

What should I brush it with? And what percent of H202 should I use? Like is it mixed with water or just straight?

1:1 ratio of H202 to tank water for 1-2 minutes. Brush lightly with a toothbrush then put it back in the tank
