Hey everyone I have two zoa frags that have hair algae in between the polyps and the zoas only open half way and if the hair algae sways in the current they usually close up. So what do you guys think of diping the zoa in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. How long? How Much? Thanks
 
I do this, its been pretty effective for me in combination with adding to the cleanup crew.

First I take the zoas out of the tank and hold them out of water for a minute or two so they close up, before they go in the dip.
Then I put them in a dip of 50:50 peroxide and tank water for 30-60 seconds.

+1 I do the same but I use a toothbrush to work it off. I usually do it a bit longer than a minute. Maybe 2 mins or so. All the hair comes off really easily after the dip.
