I’m dealing with some hair algae In my mixed reef. In the past I have spot treated with peroxide in a syringe. I’ve also dosed peroxide to help keep algae at bay.

I recently got a maxima clam and stopped in the mean time unsure on if it would be an issue for the clam.

im having a hard time finding any info on how sensitive clams are for peroxide and would love some guidance.
 
There are numerous way to fight and win the war on gha. I’d go there first.
1. Check Phosphates.
2. Lower Phosphates.
3. gfo or Phos Pad etc.
4. A large cuc.
5. Manually pull out algae.
6. Cut back on lights.
7. Test.
