Hello! I've been battling a GHA outbreak for a little bit now, and I'm finally making some headway, but my zoas are being consumed by it. It's just a small frag, and only one of the six polyps is now visible from under the algae. I tried to do some manual removal, but I'm afraid I'm just irritating it and not able to get any off. Any suggestions?
 
Dip it in hydrogen peroxide for 60s. The Zoas may close for a day or so but they will be fine. The algae will all die.
Does the hydrogen peroxide need to be diluted?
