Let it rest and set it in good flow med low light.

Did you use undiluted peroxide ?

You shouldn't use full strength.

Full strength works great for nuisance algae though.
Agreed. I Still only dab full strength esp on a frag. Q tips or pipette.

And yea , I've nuked a few frags with too strong a concentration.
And yea a tank cuz I didn't rinse and let soak out fully before putting it back in.

Hard to say. Keep an eye on them. They may recover.

Top guy doesn't look so hot... but the zoas look like they should make it ;)
Always just spot treat using full strength. I killed a couple corals like this a few months back.
It took awhile but my zoas came back and are happy as ever.

Wait till you do a little re scape and you sit down and hours later all proud and ya go. Hey, where's that frag?( you put on the lid and it's still there but mushy. )
