I have a couple of bleached acros trying to come back, but covered with fur-like algae. Hard to pull it off by hand. Any ways to get rid of the algae without damaging the acros?

Frag it off. If there's algae growing on it it's not coming back. If there's any healthy tissue I'd frag down to that and start over.

I read a thread about dipping coral in diluted Hydrogen Peroxide to kill hair algae. Anyone has tried it?
