in the picture you can see various zoa frags on my rock, although an algae/bacteria has been growing on the rock and even causing the frags to stay closed, will this kill them eventually and how can i prevent this? just want everything open, cheers 👍🏽

I would take every Zoe frag you have and dip them in a Peroxide solution of 80% tank water to 20% peroxide for several mintutes to kill the algae. You also need to find out why your tank has gotten this bad. Check all your parameters for sure.
