Can anyone help

[Wojtek]

Hi all is there anything that I can do to save this coral? It seems like algae is taking it over and covering healthy tissue. The algae is hard and won’t just blow off. It’s the only coral in the tank that this is happening to. No algae anywhere else in the tank. NA 11 PO..07

Thanks in advance

Peroxide dipping guidelines (for corals)

A while back Justin Credabel published this chart detailing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide appropriate for dipping various genera of corals. I've used these guidelines myself a few times to remove algae from coral frags and it's been quite effective. Justin Credabel's hydrogen...

It doesn’t blow off, it’s weird. I’m gonna try to peel it off.

Somewhere on this forum I saw earlier today somebody had a great little invention where they had a metal drinking straw hooked up to a siphon tube. They used it to gently scrape at things and then the detritus would get sucked away. I could see that working here.
