While the skeleton of Euphyllia and other LPS may look absolutely clean at first sight, they may be covered with all sorts of algae spores and tiny pests invisible to the naked eye.
Has anyone tried cleaning with a q-tip and hydrogen peroxide or reef delete? Any other preventative measures?

Thanks a bunch!

I have done a 50/50 peroxide dip on the skeleton structure only being very careful not to get the flesh for a good 40-60 seconds 2 times and then do a toothbrush scrub

I’ve heard of people using scalpels to cut off any unwanted parts of the base. Some glue off any hard to remove part.

I would like to know what you guys do too
