I just completed a peroxide dip (275ml/1L of saltwater for 5 minutes) of my scoly that is showing some skeleton and a few zoa frags that had a bunch of algae causing them to remain closed. There is also a few aiptasia on the two zoa frags. Will the peroxide dip kill them? They are only on those two frags and I would like to prevent it from spreading.

My scoly now has a bunch of bubbles coming off of it. I know it's probably some of the peroxide that didn't get rinsed off. Do I just continue to use a turkey baster or should I do something else?

no peroxide won't kill the aptaisia.

Personally I would leave the scoly alone. I wouldn't have peroxide dipped the scoly myself, some corals don't handle peroxide very well.

Good luck with both.
